Re: [GZG]Howtohandleunitsarmedwith"heavy"weapons [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
Perhaps I am going about this the wrong way. I think I have been trying to make the force's image style disctate tactics instead of just letting it be a style. Who is to say my force doesn't use a longer rifle, perhaps a long-barreled gauss weapon which I can model from the numerous WW2 LMG troopers.
Stat-wise they could just be normal Gauss Weapons, allowing the force to be competitive with various forces while still having the "look" I want.
Thanks for helpingm e get my head around this.
