I dig the accents!
Quote from: "Sundance"
it's from the audio cassette 'The Baron's Revenge' that was part of the fanclub package. a full-on audio movie, in which AF battle Ironblood's Shadows to save the world. Black Major comes out with the description of the new Kraken and Skip counters with the quip. it's one of the best damn lines in it.

you can check it out at BFTB:

they're embarassing...

italian: add a random 'a' to words. 'there-a on-a the low-level-a radar'

chinese: use lots of 'ah' sounds and bad grammar. 'no-ah picture please. please to-ah be joining ah-ffical press tour!'

german: say 'ja' and add t's to words. 'Ja, ist goodt!'

and Beaver doesn't sound remotely Canadian....

and the whole 'he's a Yank too, but we don't hold that against him' line is racist...

I think dubbing it as racist is a bit extreme.  It's cheesy, at best.  Remember this thing is 25 years old, stereotypes were a lot more commonplace in those days.

Nice.  Over here, I remember the dog tag, web belt, and iron-on sticker.  Definately no audio tape.

What a bloody great story this is.  Chopper did a superlative job of blending the coloured pages with the original centre spreads.  Can't wait to see this in printed form!
