I don't know how to respond to this, but one of the tanks has to be named "T-Rex" or something now.

The only time I would ever kill off NPCs off-screen was if I planned a big battle and dropped some hints, but they didn't listen and headed out to do recon or something. A lesson they'd unfortunately have to learn the hard way...

some of the tanks get damaged and they then have to start sacrificing parts from one to keep another running and so on. Or they have to redistribute the ammo or fuel. Or worse, when one tank has to be abandoned and then suddenly you have one or two extra people to stick inside the working tanks.
Stop hitting me with those negative waves!
(Someone had to say it...)

I've always wanted to start a game and have the players say something like "What's the next town down the road?" Uhhh.... none of ya'll bothered to write down map on your equipement list, so nobody has one. All you know is you're somewhere in south Poland. You think.

I might have to update my idea! In aimlessly searching the internet, I found this US Army field manual on Mechanized Infantry Platoons. Having wasted waaaaay to long digesting all the information given, I might have to throw a Mech platoon into my campaign theory.

PS: Having never served myself, the many field manuals have provided much needed insight onto almost everything. I recommend them if you don't have a clue about something.

Me too... If ya don't have it on the list, guess what? Of course in our old FTF it didn't matter cuz the HoG would 'misplace' your whole ruck if you took it off it seemed. We had MANY a disagreement over that, but you know who wins disagreements with the HoG right?
