Insurgents in the Mountains: Arms of the Baloch Separatist
INSURGENTS IN THE MOUNTAINS: ARMS OF BALOCH SEPARATISTS I found it interesting that the primary rifle favored for both sniping and general use is the SVD and PSL. This reiterates the ideal that in small guerilla groups the TERRAIN/OPERATING ENVIRONMENT generally dictates the types of weapons used. Stay Alert, Armed and Dangerous!

Know Your History: The Real Uhtred of Bebbanburg
H/T to the Renegade Tribune I am a huge fan of Bernard Cornwell’s Saxon Tales series as well as the TV series The Last Kingdom which are well adapted from the novels, but as you will see, the REAL story of Uhtred is much more cut-throat than any yarn Mr. Cornwell could ever spin!

Alfred the Great’s Navy
Interesting piece of Anglo-Saxon History. For all who are interested Bernard Cornwell’s Saxon Tales recount this amazing period of history (from a fictional standpoint but still very historically accurate) including this amazing battle. The Last Kingdom TV series are closely based on the novels, so I recommend those also!
