Continuing the pain...

...of the Whatziss. To catch up for newbies - start here and follow the links (meaning you need to read the comments, too).

Here's another little detail shot.

Later today I'll put up a comprehensive clue.

You guys are working it pretty well, really.

Update: HomeFrontSix reminds me - I *did* promise a more comprehensive picture. Truthfully - I don't think it's going to help much...

CAPT H has scored the first correct answer - but he thoughtfully did it in email so you can keep playing. We wouldn't suggest he did it so that there wouldn't be evidence of a wrong answer, no, we would *never* be so uncharitable as that... that would be rude to our guests.

And if the answer had been wrong, the Gunner would never ever think of letting the slightest hint of such be inadvertantly hinted in subsequent discussions. Cheers

Oh wow! That picture helps so much. Thanks! Um, not really. Darnit. This is too much for my poor little brain to handle this early in the morning. I'm going back to bed to try to sleep off this hangover. Ouch.

Ok ~ it's 'later' and I can't stand it anymore. Care to share the comprehensive clue you mentioned earlier? Enquiring minds have headaches, ya know.

Just as the most accurate 1,000 yard rifle competitors used to shoot from the seats of their pants (Creedmore position), I'm sure that getting the map onto the ground, and oriented correctly, and using a locked body position while seated to cradle and steady that oversize lensatic compass (I'm showing my age now) so as to read off the exact mils to the direct-fire target WOULD be the best way to direct the fire of a 105 battery, 45 years ago when I was taught how to do it in ROTC at Mizzou.

So, R-dawg, if you were to assume the cross-legged Creedmore position, and shoot a good score, would you have to be helped up off of the ground and assisted into the ambulance? A person of enquiring mind who is really not that far behind you, when it comes to old age and decrepitude, would like to know.
