Fiction/Scenario Surviving 4th Guard Army

[B.T.]

Mike, I'm not quite shure, what the intend of the question is. Is this story meant as the "origin story" of a player character?

If it is: In a situation like the one discribed in the BYB, it would make perfect sense, if the officer had his/her binoclars just hanging around his neck. And two things would allways be in reach (espacially if a person leaves his fellows/comrades, even if it was just for some minutes!): His NBC Protective Mask Carrier with mask and personal decontaminatin kit, and his rifle. Additionally I could imagine, even an officer would have his ammo for his M16A2 on his LBE. So maybe less mags for his pistol, and 6 to 9 mags for his rifle.

Maybe add gloves, leather to his equipment, in one of the trouser pockets.

Hope that helps.
