Hope the question is not too silly, I thought I'd ask anyways...

First of all I have to solve a vocabulary question :
How do you call the room where the weapons are stored?
I'll call it an armurerie in my question, please replace with the correct word, and you'll have learnt the French word (could be useful the next time you invade or liberate France :-) :-) :-) :-) )

Ok, I'm building this dio where I have one bunker split in 2.
I was thinking about making one side a small hospital, and the other part an armurerie...

Is that completely silly, and you would never find a hospital next to an armurerie, or does it make sense?
Same question applies to a more random sleeping area instead of an hspital : is it a usual thing to have soldiers sleeping next to a bad ass armurerie?

*ARMORY*

I beleive it is a no-no to place a hospital near a weapons cache, as far as the US is concerned. As we see from OIF right now, that was and is not the concren of Iraqi Insurgents. Weapon caches where found in schools, hospitals, masques, every place that a non combatent would be.

Now using the bunker as a hospital and a recovery ward would seem likely.

Not sure they would put a Hospital next to the "Arms Room", but for several years my sleeping quarters shared a common wall with the "Arms Room". The CO's office was directly above it, how's that for planning?

Thanks for the input.

I forgot to mention that the bunker would be a WWII German one, located in the North of France...

Still looking for Iraqi figures before I build my dio

I'm working on the review of the AT4 crew right now. Hopefully the Radio Team will be on the way soon.

Sorry Ropi for jumping the thread, well, sort of. You did ask the question on the Iraqi figures.
