Josh's Special:

You(pistol) vs Him(mass driver), at 10km

[LittleH13]

What me?    Are you saying that I would use a mass driver cannon?

[Iron Mongoose]

If that's the gun I'm thinking of, I'd take that. Just step one hex to the side...

[LittleH13]

But mine is a gattling mass driver cannon.

I hope the GMs, one of them, is able to answer my PM so that I can get the orders in in time.

If its the one I think it is, I will try to get you a definitive answer on Friday night, but I won't have the time before that due to my work schedule.

I hope I get it today then, Dave. Pleez.

Instrumental for my orders it is.

When given the choice of pistols or swords, if I choose pistols, that means my opponent gets swords, right?

If its me, Im fine with that.

After all you choose a pistol no one ever said you got bullets.

a choice between pistol or sword, pick hatchets, give the seconds and the witnesses a tale to tell.

[Daemonknight]

Just remember this in a pistol duel:

if you supply the pistols, make sure the one without the firing pin is the other guys(a 3x Great Uncle did that in a duel apparently, gave a guy a pistol without a firing pin).

[Marlin]

Finally some movement at Carstairs.

Still, my personal limit is not yet reached.

Not that it matters there.

couple of questions for everyone:

1) what is/comprises an Auxillary Brigade?

and

2) what is/comprises a Combined Arms Brigade?

[Daemonknight]

A brigade is a multi-regimental force, usually between 2-5 Regiments in size. Combined Arms is a very broad term, simply meaning multiple types of soldiers are working together(for example, an RCT is a form of Combined Arms Brigade, because it has multiple regiments of different types of troops(armor, mechs, infantry).

An Auxiliary Brigade is more of a societal thing. Auxiliary troops are second tier soldiers, such as conventional infantry or conventional fighters. Armor might also be considered auxiliary, because its role was supplanted by Mechs. BA could be seen as auxiliary at one time, but has become very commonplace, so it might not qualify. But it all depends on your view of the battlefield: Mechs are the top-tier soldiers, and if your view is that they are sole masters of the modern battlefield, everything else could be considered Auxiliary.
