    Matt O that has all the high scores must be a robot. Either that or he's answered all of them and knows them... you get higher scores for faster answers.

    Congrats NT!!! Are you a one star now? And that Matt character, probably designed the game and chose all the questions!

    If they ask me what this is, I can answer it.

    ROFLMBO!!!

    I got the answers about George Washington right!!! But, alas, I'm still a private.

    What gets me are the obscure questions (at least to me) about Genghis Khan and his battles. And the land mines currently in use in the U.S. Military.

    I'd have to say, off the top of my head, it's the B-2... either that or one of our Aircraft Carriers.

    No, wait... the Missile Defense Shield.

    Here's the description of the game...Pretty accurate I think.
    Armchair General
    This game is specially designed to weed out the real military know-it-alls from the pretenders.
    Now here's another game on the same site. Made it to level 5 before I ran out of ammo.

    Discovery Channel Cannon Challenge

    Yeah, I played that a few times and think I got to level 7 before I ran out... got lucky on a few shots.

    My 7 year old son has potential being a Howitzer gunner, he got to level 4 all by himself! It's amazing how fast a young mind picks up on concepts when presented in a video game.

    Made it to the end of level 12 and missed the last target that's a missile that appears and disappears from it's silo. Final score of 127,700

    Tried the game last night. Made it to level 9. Nice time killer. It's similar to a game called Scorch and another called Tanks.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    i got 2956, couldn't beat the high score although i answered all the question correctly, not even a single wrong answer





    PS: i forgot to mention that i cheated, i stopped the timer completely till i searched for each answer, some question were easy to search and others were very hard.

    People show you and tell you who they are and you need to be listening and watching, not deciding that you know better.

    Oh, I didn't know you could stop the timer... I was doing it the hard way.

    of course normally you couldnt, i just hacked the memory and stopped it, freezed IE, the timer on my screen stopped in each question, which allowed me to search for the answer before i stop the freezing to let the game show the next question, then freeze it again and so on, but of course the timer in the server didnt stop, thats why i got the lowest score in most of the questions, about 140 i think, if i could search more fast in one or two questions, i would have been the first in the score list
