In reply to Corkman (msg # 45):
Cork:
Since you and Mark have experience playing together, and have made the two highest ranking characters, one of you will be group CO. As far as the third vehicle goes, that was an idea to explain why a Captain from the Engineers was in charge of an armored formation.
If you guys don't have the bucks, the idea was to lash the C4 to the outside of both vehicles. Keep in mind that even though the gear might fit because of weight restrictions, there is the idea of space. Look at all the BS in the Engineers Tool kit alone.
So, I put it toward the group as logical people to come up with a way to either have a third vehicle with all the crap or the two vehicles and go light. Sure on paper the crap idea is better, but for all three vehicles to stay together as a unit they need to move at the speed of the slowest vehicle.
Tank(tracks)
IFV(tracks)
???(???)
Get my point? Keep in mind that even though the M1 is formidable, the group KNOWS they are heavily outnumbered. Fight or flight, the reality of a third vehicle with limited mobility laden with a lot of cumbersome equipment is an idea that at some time needs to be addressed.
