I have been reviewing some of the material for the Jackson Republic. I have decided to make some changes:
- Replace the Lewis MG with the .30 M1919A6 model. The pan magazines held too little ammunition for the weight.
- Add about eight to sixteen M116 howitzers, 75mm, 9,600 yd eff range, 3-6 rpm, about 1,440 lbs to address the KFS's 105's. Yeah, the 105's out range the M116's but they are transportable by the H-34 helicopters and towable by any truck at least 3/4 ton the Republic has.
- Going to add six to eight FM-2 Wildcats to counter the P-47's. It uses a variant of the Wright R-1820 engine like the H-34 helicopters do.
I am considering changing the organization of the combat units also.
