OK. It seems we're mostly on the same page about ORMO gear.
I just don't like how the GDW folks use ORMO as a blanket term for all Polish militias.
I guess it's fairly logical that decent sized cities would have an official, gov. sanctioned and supplied ORMO while towns and villages would probably either be assigned ORMO detachments from nearby cities or have to create their own militias from scratch, depending on the local circumstances.
I wish the GDW folks would have used the term ORMO to refer solely to official and semi-official government sponsored militias. "Militia" should be used to denote groups that weren't set up by the state (i.e. impromptu local groups responding to local civil defense needs). I see it differentiated a couple of times in the canon but it's not consistent throughout.
