kids in war
I guess I dont have to tell anyone here the meaning of the word infantry - as I understand its to do with the squires of the horsemen - usually kids, sons maybe or at least the sons of a tennant.
As things get grim in T2k settings I think you will find kids doing all sorts in groups of fighters/ units.
Scouting,foraging,fighting , hauling loads as porters. AT least they have through history and still do in 3 world conflicts.
I have tried to introduce kids at some points in my campaign - but I tend to shy away - can get a little to realistic I guess - but sometimes it works well.
Most memorable kid - the character of General Pains son - Zorg Georg Michale Pain ( both ma and da had their say in the naming), to Alotta Pain who died mysteriously before the General remarried. he had some issues with daddy to say the least and dad did put out a hit on him to be fair. But cvil war is such an ugly word for a family quarrel. Good fun to play though - the young usurper being a precocious mirror of his old tyrant father. ( in game folks- we had some laughs about GPs family situation)
