hmmm...so instead of a dedicated anti-ship missile like the Harpoon at 500k or so , the Kiwi's go the cheap option and decide to got with what's basically an uprated Anti-Tank missile for 200k

You all read that - if you're going to invade the kiwis, make sure you give them several months notice per ship you're going to send. if its bigger than a PT boat, an additional 6 months notice is required.

this will help make the battle more fair

I didn't realise things were that bad.

It reminds me of the Argentinian Puma helicopter that was shot down by the Royal Marines using a Milan anti tank missile during the first days of the falklands conflict.

Highly unusual though....and the first if not the only time it's been put to such use I believe.

I have heard that former a former Nazi surgeon moved to the land of Hobbits. He alledgedly has been using sheep and the Mauori people in genetic experimentation to make a fearsome being that has been seen called "Sheepman". It has been reported that many lonely farmer have been lured into the woods by this six foot half sheep half man being where unmentionable sexual deeds are performed only to find the farmer dazed in a drinken stupor and a very sore bum. Something needs to be done about this before this thing makes its way to Australia. We need to invade without delay...
