Oh and Spt Wpns like Tarantulas = AT, Rapiers = Gen. Spt Wpn, T/Guns - HE (Hi-explosive) , Mortars - HE; ?would probably be at Bn Level like the Griffins. They would be in plts or a Hvy Weapons/Cbt Spt Co. ... just like in the SM1 IG TO&Es ! ?And in RL ! ? ?And Lion and Orange, came pretty close to being correct on their posts ... but the do have military backgrounds ... ?And even if different Rgts from various planets would be put together (Task Organized) for a mission. Support functions would be similar. ?For example - in the ROK my US Mech Bn from 3rd Bde was attached to the 2d Inf Bde and Task Organized with a Tank Bn from 1st Arm Bde and a Korean Inf Bn ... ?it worked as the system is designed to be flexible ... And sometimes a USMC Co. would land in CH-53s and be attached to us. We'd throw'm on the back of the attached Tanks and move out ! |

Oh and Support Weapons like Tarantulas = Anti-Tank, Rapiers = General. Support Weapon, T/Guns - HE (Hi-explosive) , Mortars = High Explosive; would probably be at Battalion Level like the Griffons. They would be in platoon or a Hvy Weapons/Company battallion Seperate Company. ... just like in the Epic 1st edition IG army lists! And in RL ! Lion and Orange came pretty close to being correct on their posts ... but the do have military backgrounds ... And even if different Regiments from various planets would be put together (Task Organized) for a mission. Support functions would be similar. For example - in the ROK(?) my US Mechanised Batallion from 3rd Brigade was attached to the 2d Infantry Brigade and Task Organized with a Tank Batallion from 1st Armoured Brigade and a Korean Inf Batallion ... it worked as the system is designed to be flexible ... And sometimes a US Marine Corps Company would land in CH-53s (Big transport helicopters) and be attached to us. We'd throw'm on the back of the attached Tanks and move out ! =========== Tell me if I got anything too far wrong? |

Ah ... that looks correct ... actually something like I'd say ?!?!? ROK = Republic of Korea ! So you get a score of 99.9 % on L4 to civilian vernacular ! So very good job ! |

I blame it all on a misspent youth running about in fields firing blank rifle rounds six feet to the left of the 'enemy' (So as not to kill my school classmates with the round's discharge!). |

Very good ! Were you a cadet ?! Or just got a hold of blank rounds ! I've fired a few blanks myself ... it's a bad idea to kill your own guys in an exercise ... or for real for that matter ! No Blue on Blue engagements ! |

lol thanks E & C CH-53s (Big transport helicopters) i got that one actually counts as a proper name and ROK was the one that really made me pause so i dont feel so bad. honestly tho l.4. really do love to hear your opinions on this kind of stuff especially , im always one for packing as much realism in my war games as possible, weather it's historical or E.A. i need my "suspention of disbelief" to really have fun. so keep the army talk commin and i'll try to learn and not give you any more guff. edit: REALLY bad spelling |

No problem ! I'm not easily offended, much ! So ask away ... I have a tendency to ramble on sometimes and hope most understand what the FraKK I'm talk'n 'bout ! Like I said, I served 10 + years in 4 Infantry Bns, so I add my insights to the conversations based on that decade ... followed by 16 + years of 'Epicing" ! |

Aye I did Army Cadets for four or so years... learned how to strip and clean a rifle, call it a 'round' not a 'bullet', and ride in a *lot* of four-ton trucks. |

Thought so ! What you Cadets use, H&K G-3's ? |

Actually they changed from the old SLR to the SA-80 (non-automatic version so you had a massive cocking handle on the right hand side) a year or two before I started... so I had a semi-decent weapon for my years (I only say semi-decent, because the A2 version of the rifle only came out a couple of years after I stopped). Had a go with the LSW version of the SA-80 a few times too... |

Oh that's correct, Blacklegion is from Germany ! Not the UK ! The SLR was more like our M-14 ... that was the first rifle I used as a cadet, besides the Springfield '03 for D&C and occasionaly the M-1. But eventually we got the M-16 which the SA-80 is comparable. But you know that ! And LSW version is like the US M249 SAW, IIRC ! Cool ! |
