Designer's notes
Thanks for all the input guys.
The name was actually the hardest part - there is a precedent for it though - Merrill's Marauders in World War Two. I considered scouts but it didn't fit with the role (and has been said it tends to be used for allied troops) and I can see the 75th sharing...
It was in the back of my mind that it is an ideal PC group.
Mwould have no specialist requirement to join but be of a high standard to assimilate the training.
They would be an additional unit as they have a different role.
As to support I felt that as the unit was going to be out of contact for long periods and the support staff would be seen by HQs as having nothing to do so reabsorbed - I may well need to add that as a note. By 2000 they will have some hired cooks, etc (probably paid for with looted items).
I will probably add a note about the use of UAZ469s and horses.
Does the organisation and equipment look about right to everyone? Bear in mind they are designed as a raiding force. I probably need to add an anti-tank capability (maybe TOW on the HMMWV). Of the top of my head assume two vehicles per section, 1 with MG(s) and 1 with TOW (Mk19 could replace either).
I like the comparison to Sissi although I see the role as returning after each raid.
Once again thanks for all the constructive feedback.
PS Feel free to just change the name to your favourite one in your campaign.
