Let’s hire a high-profile vet as a military advisor so we get all the details of uniforms and weapons right, …

As we all know from Junior High French, Tour d’Horizon means Hognose has too many stories in his open tabs at the end of the week. What do you expect? It’s Friday the 13th! Guns I don’t wanna work, I just wanna bang on my gun all day. Yeah, This is a Curio and Relic this Year It’s a …
