The MARS Force - My Version

[Matt W]

Looks good - but I believe that the MARS units should be either air-mobile or be able to call on air support (if only for MEDEVAC).

And, if you'll forgive the "vanity post" I have 2 candidates for aircraft that could be assigned to work with your proposed MARS unit

Hi Matt;

Thanks for the feedback...and congrats on your own MP site btw - you have got an "Excellent" archive and blog there (I have read it for a coupe of years now).

Re: The Penetrator - Matt, I actually already use it and yes - I got it off your site! I had originally used Rotorway Exec 162F Kit helicopters (re-configured for fusion power and capable of breaking down into six man-portable packages) to outfit my ZI Aerial Support Group units, but after reading your "Penetrator" article, I "retro-fitted" the Air Teams with purpose-built HA-212M (Hughes Aircraft 212 Morrow) variants instead.

My Aerial Support Group is not MARS-specific, but does include 1 x Combat Squadron, 2 x Transport Squadrons, and 1 x Medevac Squadron. Each Squadron is composed of four HA-212's with ground support vehicles (rangers and Humemrs) as well as ground crew, air crew, and flight control staff.

I now use the Rotorway 162's inside caches and as a replacement for the 'Air Scout' Gyro-copter.

Thanks for your suggestions Matt - and all the good work on your site!

Cheers!

The Penetrator looks excellent! A little unduly influenced by "Blue Thunder", but excellent nonetheless!
