EDITOR'S NOTES
  • Pardon our incorrect handling of tank riders- we are all soviet n00bs. Tank Riders DO count FOR motivation but do NOT count against
  • As always- pardon our horrible pronunciations. That's how we roll
  • Don't forget about our contest!

WWPD News From the Front Episode 9



"Jon's drinking a 40… again"
Steven and Luke sit down with newcomer Dirty Jon and have a good time talking about 2010 and the looming 2011. Not a lot of "crunchy" material covered here- think of this as the end of the year special minus songs and clips. Jon talks about his trip to Europe, the guys talk about what armies they plan to work on, and just generally talk Flames of War.
