[Brother in Arms]

This is great info guys!


But I think my original point was more about people carrying to much. I think the key to surviving in T2K enviroment would be mobility as well as gear. But I think often people get so bogged down with gear (too prepared) that they are somewhat comfortable.

I also think the a difference is most of my twilight games take place in the U.S. so somewhat out of the military context, or when they are its after most of the good stuff is gone to Europe. I have played a few games when I was in Europe with other soldiers but they usually didn't involve having tons and tons of gear but I was very cautious of how and were it was carried.

I think I have alwyas been really interested in LRRPS, Rangers, Militia, Minute men, and Light companies that makes me think about this stuff.



One of my favorite games that my character was a Mechanic and had to leave the fire base he was in because it was getting the crap knocked out of it by artillery. So we escaped in an armored. I didn't even have a rifle. We ended cut off so bad that we were riding around in a captured WW2 Russian Scout car BA-64 I think. After some scary engadements with Warsaw troops (Hungarian and East German) I eventually found myself armed with a Hungarian AMD-65 that I had to remove the flash hider from so it could fit in the armored car (and a 75 round drum magazine ) I also ended up with mostly captured gear like a east german jacket with fur collar. I also managed to find some sunglasses with green lenses but I think they were civilian.
