I'm still catching up with the Red Indians of my youth becoming First Nation and Indians becoming South Asians.<br /><br />It's worth noting that for particular scenarios company members may carry one or two mortar bombs with them on the approach march. They will drop them off at the base plate firing position on their way to the start line. Sci-fi troops will probably have a mechanical mule to do that sort of thing for them.<br /><br />Regards, Chris.Chris Kemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15784847480097649252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262220849718806044.post-70234838467495415762023-05-26T17:22:48.969+01:002023-05-26T17:22:48.969+01:00What a great resource!

This is the one factor that differentiates real world militaries across the globe.<br /><br />I know, I know, historical realities in an SF game, whatever next? Cats and dogs sleeping together!?

One question though... if the cost of support weapons are added after the number of figures are purchased doesn't it mean that they are more effective for better quality troops as they can maker better use of them?<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Pete.Pete.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06668389518826053090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262220849718806044.post-68285802842858027972023-05-24T14:10:58.890+01:002023-05-24T14:10:58.890+01:00Basing depends on your choice of scale.

Same for ground-scale and whether you use inches or centimeters too.

As for whether they are corporate or privately funded that's up to you, because these are just the basics of how they are organized and the quality of training.

I'm thinking limited numbers or resources, but with high level of training and maybe complex or very advanced equipment. <br /><br />Are teams based on a single base?irishserbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667912663079268177noreply@blogger.com
