Title: Napalm
Post by: Puck on March 13, 2007, 05:53:25 PM: Can anyone say "Roasted Tiger"? I knew you could.

The spawn campers would howl from here to AHIII. Might be worth the frame rate hit.

It was used by the Greek army against communist guerrilla fighters during the Greek Civil War, by United Nations forces in Korea, by Mexico in the late 1960s against guerrilla fighters in Guerrero and by the United States during the Vietnam War.

I don't know about napalm proper, but incendary bombs were used.

I vote for WP bombs. That should kill a half track or Osty pretty damn fast. Ohh, my face is melting!
