To clarify, everybody starts as a rifleman, but must qualify (aka survive) for weapons. I will be taking down qualification requests right now, as to know what weapon your dude will train for as that becomes available (XP, equipment availability).

It it possible to stay as a rifleman?

I am voting for Toff because he is honestly the only one who does what we are supposed to be doing (Popov is cool but guerrilla warfare is more if we get hosed and stuck behind enemy lines for extended periods which seems outside of our ideal mission parimeters). Popov also seems like he would be better at literally anything Kurt could do.

If we had to pick a second one later I would do Popov because guerrilla training would be a good thing to have but I believe actually being taught to work as a small independent unit is something we should probably know given that is what we literally are as a merc company. Plus it allows us to support the fly boys and possible get more $$$ for intel and recon bonuses. I think that will more than pay for the more expensive price.

Yeah, I think our strike teams are going to end up with shotgun blasts to the chest as soon as we walk through the door. At least as Green Team Leader, I won't be point man (I assume).

We are fragging every door we breach and since grenades in this are insane we should be good.

Well I was going to spec leadership since I was a Squad leader last mission but instead I guess I will spec Marksmen since we already have a bunch of people going for leadership. Is that more about being a sniper or being a designated marksman?

I was wondering the same thing, but apparently it is the full size Astartes one. I could have sworn they were .98.

Heavy Bolters are .98 or whatever if I remember correctly. Astarte pattern are .75. The human sized ones I think are the same caliber but its mention that you still need aguments or power armor to use one without breaking your arms in the fluff. Caphius Cain uses a bolt pistol but his hands are bionics which helps. The only non astartes that use actual bolters are sisters of battle and they both have their own bolter pattern and all wear power armor.

Popete posted:

1x Physical Fitness Training Center - $150,000
1x Firing Range - $75,000
1x Field Hospital and Staff - $200,000


Bogdons Cousin He will take over our Firing Range and get the boys in fighting shape.

Total = $500,000

I really think getting our guys trained up should be a high priority early on. The field hospital as well should be a big priority, cause we are likely gonna get shot the hell up.

As for weapons, maybe we should give each recruit an allowance? Say $10k each and pick out whatever you want.

This plan sounds swell.

No, Cain uses a laspistol. The model for the cover art uses a bolt pistol though. :v:

Thats what was messing me up, drat propaganda poster. There is someone who does use a bolt pistol and its noted they can only really do so because they bionics.

When I get out of class for the day I might draft up a proposal as well if I can think of something better than what was put forward. Though as our first real purchase I feel pretty confident that we can spend 50%ish of our funds and not be screwed in the long run.

I'm pretty sure we are barely capable of driving a car let alone a chopper.

Im imagining that Yooper will buy one and in missions he will designate an operations area for the chopper to be in which will allow us to call in airstrikes if this makes sense. This would mean that the operations requesting air support in this thread would have to run after or concurrently with the other one which may be too much effort.

I think the best way to handle the stipend would be have more proposals on small arms to buy (with a set budget of 144,000), tailor them to individual needs and wants, and vote those through.

This might be best, I also thought originally the stipend was for each person to customize their person.

Germany in WW1 tried to have them declared illegal for the wounds they caused, but it was never accepted. In part because Germany was complaining while simultaneously using flamethrowers and gas.

E:fb

To be fair everyone was using flamethrowers and gas at that point I believe. It was just the Americans who were using trench guns. I don't think all of the parties would have accepted dropping the use of gas and flamethrowers but having one party drop the use of one weapon wouldn't be too much of a stretch.

Honestly we can probably drop the PPSH as well. 140k is a lot so feel free to not use all of it, it'll go towards our next weapon purchase (QF-17).

Thank you, I had done the math correctly for the total it turns out but forgot to update the list. PPsh were there for a submachine gun class weapon for close range assault teams, i got the same amount of shotguns so we could mix and match as needed. Feel free to adjust my list if you want, Im going to get some food.
