Being the cavalryman, not so bad.  Being the guy who's job it is to recruit "new" mounts, not so great.

And of course the socialist in the CSA would probably develop Alligator Cavalry, as bears are not so populus in the Southeasten section of N. America.

I can't read what it says, but one could assume it says "Don't fight the Bear Calvalry."

Gaius Marius is rather openly wondering if that tech is available... could be usefull in the mountianes northern regions if the empire.

Or his desserts are small,

I just established the bear cavalry picture as my desktop's background image.  We'll see how long my wife tolerates it.

QuoteI can't read what it says, but one could assume it says "Don't fight the Bear Calvalry."
"At Fuji-Q Highland, do not start a fight with your pet bear while on any of the rides"
;D

First line says (I think) "Fuji-Q wa kuma no seisku suru chi desu" which means something like "Fuji-Q is Bear country" (or a bit more literally "Fuji-Q is bear live place" or so).
Second line says "kuma wa doko ni demo imasu"... which I might be able to figure out (as well as the rest of the sign) were it not that it is about 3:25AM here at the moment.

But I think it might be your regular bear sign warning you not to approach them and not to feed them.

Regarding Fuji-Q Highland...

The CSA assures everyone that the bears in the Southern swamps are not large enough to use for the dreaded 'bear cavalry' and is also saddened by the events that have taken place within the borders of the State of Georgia. Currently, Georgia and the other States of the Confederacy are, severally and in congress assembled, planning measures to prevent further outbreaks of violence.
So 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in old Baghdad;
You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man;
We gives you your certificate, an' if you want it signed
We'll come an' 'ave a romp with you whenever you're inclined.

The potential of NS in this area of research is just scary. Kodiak Bears in Alaska and Saltwater Crocs in Australia  :o But the real capablity lies in the Fighting 'Roos of Oz, in hand-to-hand fighting the kangaroos could be decisive.



And with Walter in control, anything is possible... ;D
