as was recently mentioned on another thread, I have recently become interested in the Winter War of 1939-40 between the Russians and the Finns. While their overall performance was nothing short of heroic, I find perticularly inspiring what the Finnish marksmans were able to achieve with nothing but iron sights - in an era when the russians and germans were using 7x telescopes.

What captures your interestes in military history? what era? which wars? which theaters, which battles? Are you interested in technology, the development of rifles or of seige guns? tanks or warships?
