  1. The Mexican Chronicles – 19

    Next, leopard crawl. This comes in handy when you’ve drawn fire and are in a lot of kak. It is not a good idea to stroll forward to meet your enemy in a civilized fashion. On taking heavy fire, you throw yourself on the ground in a timely manner. If the fire is too concentrated it is unwise to go into fire and movement drills; the better alternative is to crawl toward the enemy giving him as little target as humanly possible. This involves moving along at a rapid pace, as you want to get rid of the bugger as soon as you can, on your elbows and knees. The trick is not to have your bum stuck up in the air; that is why it is called leopard crawl and not baby crawl. Believe me, baby crawl is a lot easier, but you will get your ass shot off if you go for this option. Literally. Again, you cannot always find the easier, softer route, and a fair amount of pain is involved. If you are really in an adventurous mood you can use a combination of these techniques and spill even more blood. Add full kit and a rock and you’re really talking.

    Big Five Wars is my main mission for now and they also get updated regularly.
