    John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill was born in Hong Kong, and graduated from the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst in 1926. He would later earn the nickname “Mad Jack” or “Fighting Jack” for fighting with a longbow, bagpipes, and a sword in World war two.

    During his later years he would take a train home from work. Passengers would be shocked when he opened a window and tossed his briefcase into a garden along the tracks and then he would get off the train, walk home and go out into his garden and pick up his briefcase. He lived beside the tracks and so decided it was easier to throw his case into his garden instead of carrying it home. The train driver was apparently in on it

      That would have caused the germans to take major hits to their moral.

I give my soldiers these state of the art guns, and they lose to a fricken bow and arrow. Thats like going into an MMORPG and you like DUDE I GOT GUNS IM OP HAHA and the level 900 with bow maxed out just one hits your entire army.

      Skengis Khan Because you won't get big budget films about anything thay doesn't glorify America. I suppose if they simply change his nationality and make him American thay could work. It wouldn't be the first time America has stolen the achievements and stories of another nations military and lied about it being their own. Just look at U-571.

      During one charge the Germans had the high ground but in the chaos and the darkness of night he managed to sneak behind enemy lines and killed a man with his sword. The attack was so bizarre and it was so hard to see the German soldiers that saw the attack thought it was some sort of monster or demon and surrendered in pure fear.

      He wasn't actually Scottish, but given his clear love of bagpipes and Scottish broadswords, that probably sums him up pretty well. More a weird mix of Samurai Jack, Scottish paraphernalia and and English accent all wrapped up in the traditional understated-ness of a British army officer.

      The top feeding magazine makes it so that your can have a 30-round magazine and still be able to fire it in the prone. The Bren is not the first to have the top-feed mag as the gun was developed from the Madsen Light Machine Gun.
