Australia has announced they'll be adoping the HIMARS too. Luckily for us miniature gamers, they'll be buying off the shelf US units rather than trying to adapt the launcher to the HX chassis.

Now if only I hadn't abstracted my artillery to off table only :lol:

Looks like the great people at Battle Order have added another HIMARS video. This one takes a look at the Battery Level.

Enjoy.

P.S. I have really been digging the work that Battle Order has been doing. Its helped me a lot with understanding the organization structure of different military units and different nations. Hope they keep growing.

That's a very cool video Hoth! Thank for sharing! Those guys do some really cool videos.

I think I'm turning into a grumpy old man though - I'm sitting here mumbling to myself "9 launchers?!?! Back in my day they had 6 launchers in each battery, and they were happy to have them!"
