the casual ironic homoeroticism of cis dude gamers is awkward and i’m still unsure why they do it

In ancient Sparta they used to promote homoromantic relationships within the barracks because it was believed you would fight better if you were fighting for your boyfriend next to you

is this why dudes at the grandmaster rank on overwatch talk about blowing each other

The 1st US Camel Corps, 1856.

The use of camels for warfare has gone back for thousands of years as the camel has many advantages over the traditional horse. In dry arid deserts a camel can function for up to a week without water and can cross desert terrain to rough for horses. While not as fast or maneuverable as a horse, a camel is a much larger animal which lends to an intimidation factor in battle. These were the same arguments made by Capt. George H. Crossman, a Mexican American War veteran who was accustomed to operating and fighting in dry desert conditions. Throughout the 1850’s Capt. Crossman preached to all who would listen, espousing the view that the US Army should adopt camels for use on the western frontier.

In 1855 he got his chance when Secretary of War Jefferson Davis approved his plan to assemble an experimental camel corps. With $30,000 dollars Capt. Crossman and his associate Major Henry C. Wayne purchased 76 camels from Greece, Malta, Turkey, and Egypt along with 5 experienced Bedouin handlers.

In 1856 the camels landed at Indianola, Texas and were driven Camp Verde for assignments. Once there the men were trained by the camel handlers how to ride, care for, and command their camels. From 1856 to 1860 the 1st US Camel Corps patrolled the southwest. The Camel Corps even conducted exploratory surveys and mapping expeditions Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and California. Early results of the experiment showed great success, as the animals easily operated in the deserts of the southwest. Furthermore the camels proved that they could cross rugged terrain that horses could not go. If it wasn’t for the American Civil War, John Wayne and the Lone Ranger may have ridden camels instead of horses.

In 1860, with tensions rising between the north and the south, the US Army began to consider a war fought in the east. Regular cavalry was given priority over experimental camelry and in 1861 the US Camel Corps was disbanded. Some were sold to the public, most were turned loose into the wild. As a result the southwest actually sported a small population of wild camels. The last camel sighting occurred in 1941 near Douglas, Texas.

This was the program that led to the legend of the Red Ghost of Arizona. Sometime in the early 1880s a woman was trampled to death by a large hairy creature roaming the Arizona wilderness. Most people had never seen a camel before which naturally led to locals believing it to be a malicious spirit. One detail that helped fuel its otherworldly reputation was that it was reported to have a skeleton rider on its back. People became even more fearful when after another close encounter with the Red Ghost a human skull was found to have fallen off the creature which still had hair and skin attached. Eventually the animal was shot and killed by a rancher and it was revealed to have been a very unhappy camel with a human skeleton strapped tightly to the animal’s back. There’s no official explanation for how or why the human body ended up fixed to the animal but a common story is that it was the corpse of a member of the Camel Corps who, being afraid of his strange mount, was strapped to the camel as a way to forcefully accustom him to his animal, or as punishment but the animal managed to escape with its unwilling passenger still tied to its back.

@petepaintswarhammer How so? If you lack people to play with, there will probably a lot online rounds playing this game. Same for the older WH40k RPGs

It’s the fact that I can’t easily commit to a regular time slot week in week out. My availability seems to change every week with no sense of consistency. That said there are some people on here I’d love to play W&G with as well as good old D&D.
