American here, I just bought English translation of Larteguy's sequel to his legendary Les Centurions, Les Praetorians and was about to read them for the first time until I learned that the books are part of a war trilogy that has received omnibus releases in France and internet says that they are connected even if loosely.

Unfortunately Les Mercenaries never got translated and my French is weak at this point. So I ask is it necessary to read Les Mercenaries first? How connected are the novels? For example is the plot one big story or do they share some of the same characters?

As I said I only bought Les Praetorians recently but don't have Les Centurions yet. I just bought Praetorians because I found it as a bargain in a thrift store. Can I jump into it stand alone without reading Les Centurions first in additon to not reading Les Mercenaries first? Or is Praetorians too built up on Les Centurions that I have to read the latter first unlike how its implied Centurions doesn't require Les Mercenaries because Mercenaries was never released in English?

Hi All,

Need your advise. I've old Centurion from 90x and it's time to get new tyres on it, but I'm a little bit confused with tyres size. It has origin centurion 27.5x1x1.25 25mm 250 gr road, so what modern size it should be and maybe you have any suggestions for specific model.

I'm using it as all season road commuter bike, so was looking on schwalbe Marathon or Lugano.

I just purchased a Centurion Lemans RS, but it needs a new wheelset and some other work. I tried to fit 27 / 1-1/4 tires from a Schwinn Le Tour, but they were too large to fit onto the frame without rubbing against the top of the fork. I am not sure what type of wheels I need to get this bike running. Would 700c wheels work with this bike?

I bought the bike on craigslist, with the idea that I could learn more about bike repair by fixing it up. Already feeling a bit over my head! Thank you in advance for any advice or replies.

So I used to ride an old 12 speed centurion. It was fun. So I found a similar beat up used one in LBS. I thought it was a steeeeeel (heh) and took it home for $40. Yesssssss.

Now after riding it around I notice it kinda lags or skips or "catches" a little bit in the pedals. It isn't resisting at all, just an annoying little like skip. Its happening on both chainrings, and at every stroke.

So I start to really look at the bike and it's actually a 14 speed. So whomever owned it previously did the upgrade I always wanted to do! Yay! But the skip...

So I wonder if maybe...like the ratios don't work? Or maybe the chain is just bad? I can post pictures later. But I was hoping yalls here would have maybe a quick answer in case it's super obvious what the problem is.

I'm slightly worried it'll be a cranks or BB problem. I kinda like the old biopace set. But I got a little extra cash and I wouldn't be too sad to have to replace them.

TL;DR: New used Centurion 14 speed, biopace cranks. Pedal stroke kinda skipping. Any obvious answers?

Thanks!

------------------

Once the goings-on in the nearby corporate owned rooms were over, Jabari went back to task and led Pu'Sha through a practice exercise that used a variety of soft drink cans at increasing distances. After he had become satisfied that she had more or less gotten the hang of her enhanced energy weapon, he instructed her to clean it down and thus familiarise herself with the new parts.

Upon returning to the viewing area, Jabari noted with some concern that Sam still had not returned. He caught Alex's eye, and all he received was a single shake of her head before she continued giving instructive pointers to the tiny Fah'Zi. Britney was quietly working in the corner of the room, her back to everyone, installing the parts that had been brought for her bolt caster.

"Alright, Mike249," Jabari's deep voice called out, and the tense atmosphere in the room seemed to grow stronger still. "It is time.”

The Naeseli sprang up as soon as he heard his name. He took a few nervous steps forward, his upper limbs rubbing at the custom tracksuit as he searched for his oversized weapon. "I... don't see my gun.”

“I’ve had it returned to your elder," the big man explained. "He's allowed me to try something different for you. I had to do a little research on this one, but it seems you’re about fully grown for a leader, just need a final moult to get your colouration. Correct?”

“Yes, Sir.” Mike249 was trying to stand as straight and tall as he could, especially keen to impress their new mentor after their first meeting went so dismally. “What do you mean, different?”

“You have an innate combat advantage over most species,” Jabari said as he walked over to a large black weapons case on one of the work benches. “Your eyes work independently, with an almost three hundred and sixty degree field of vision. You have exceptional motor control, but your previous weapon simply overpowered you.”

“It is the standard weapon issued to all of our military,” the Naeseli said, happy to receive compliments but confused as to the direction things were going.

“Standard.” The specialist shook his head. “We like to play to our strengths, and I think it’s tim

Welcome to the Christmas Tales Event! This year, Santa has brought the Maldecept 1B upon us. So pull up to the fireplace, grab a cup of hot chocolate, and listen to the fire crackle as your wallet screams in agony in the background. Here's to another year of lootboxes, overpowered premium tanks, and tier-rushing monkeys as teammates and enemies! And may this hold true for many more years to come.

CHRISTMAS BOXES

This year's christmas boxes come in 4 iterations:

1.5k gold box (usually 2 dollars)

7.5k gold box (usually 10 dollars)

20k gold box (usually 20 dollars)

Brand new 50k gold box (expect 40-50 dollars)

These deals are great, by far the cheapest gold comes around for most players, besides the returning-player deals. Definitely consider buying, this is almost 80k gold at a MASSIVE discount and can serve you well for the rest of the year if spent correctly.

CHRISTMAS TANK AUCTION

Just some advice here to be had:

• The christmas auction is NOT, I repeat NOT, the time to buy premium tanks for a discount. If you are looking for a good premium tank to grind credits with but don't have a lot of gold, this is NOT YOUR TIME TO BUY. You already missed out a ton on black friday, and these tanks are miles more expensive than when they are sold in bundles, plus they are sold completely nude (no equipment, no camos, no extra goodies bundled in for free). I would personally wait for a better deal next year if you are looking for big discounts on premium tanks.
• Just like what I said above, a TON of premium tanks sold in the auction are available for cheap year-round and aren't worth buying at the auction at all. Weigh your options: is it worth it to pay more for the tank, or are you willing to wait until it is on sale again?
  • A warning for those thinking they are going to get lower prices: Last year, every single tank that was auctioned sold out. Every single one. Expect them to sell even faster this year because each year more and more players are joining the game. So expect most tanks, especially the highly desirable ones, to only last 1-2 days. Again, I can't stress this enough, AUCTION TANKS ARE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THEY REALLY ARE. If you can wait, do so.
• So, what is worth buying?
  • Tanks that are never sold during the year: Tanks like Dracula, Helsing, and M60 are never ever sold for gold. This is the only time to get them guaranteed. They will be expensive, but if you are looking to pick one up this is the

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

There are 7 remaining offers this year. While it's not possible to accurately predict what will be offered, here is my educated guess on the remaining offers for gold based on the past 6 years.

The number of new offers each year seems to be decreasing. Therefore, I anticipate no more than 6 new offers in 2021. We will likely see a few of the following common repeat offers:

• One Year of Premium
• AMX 13 57
• WZ-111 Alpine Tiger
• Lorraine 40 t
• Rheinmetall Skorpion G

There is also a visible pattern where the new offers for gold in one year are repeated in the next year. We have already seen the WZ-120-1G-FT, Lowe, STRV 81, and E 75 TS (all new offers in 2020). This leaves us with:

• STRV S1
• T-103

Common sense says that the Obj. 703 Version II will be an offer for gold this year, as each past year's final offer for cash is an offer for gold in following year. This theory also plays off the pattern listed above.

• Obj. 703 Version II

My guess as to which new offers will appear this year are:

• Object 274a - Recently offered for gold during the Daily Deals event last month.
• GSOR 1008 - Similar to why the E 75 TS was an offer last year.
• Bisonte C45 - Will likely be offered for cash this year, same as the Obj. 703 Version II was last year.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

American here, I just bought English translation of Larteguy's sequel to his legendary Les Centurions, Les Praetorians and was about to read them for the first time until I learned that the books are part of a war trilogy that has received omnibus releases in France and internet says that they are connected even if loosely.

Unfortunately Les Mercenaries never got translated and my French is weak at this point. So I ask is it necessary to read Les Mercenaries first? How connected are the novels? For example is the plot one big story or do they share some of the same characters?

As I said I only bought Les Praetorians recently but don't have Les Centurions yet. I just bought Praetorians because I found it as a bargain in a thrift store. Can I jump into it stand alone without reading Les Centurions first in additon to not reading Les Mercenaries first? Or is Praetorians too built up on Les Centurions that I have to read the latter first unlike how its implied Centurions doesn't require Les Mercenaries because Mercenaries was never released in English?
