Tutorial #0002 - Building a Alpha Company Infantry Squad, Using Temporary Resources

[GreenLead]

Hmm...interesting observations by all regarding winter camo. I suppose we could open this for discussion in Shady's Pub, no? It'd be very helpful for when I get on to decals.

[MilTroop]

Doing a plain white uniform for winter means one less decal to design and produce. It would be cheaper, but I think digital winter camouflage would look cooler.

What about those of us who don't have BrickArms? Are we allowed to use brick buit. Sorry if you've already answered this. Because if you did I didn't quite understand it apparently.

To reiterate: no, sorry.

[Lite]

Darn. Well. I guess it HAS to be BrickArms. Then that's gonna be a long while. Maybe even never.

Is it possible for us to use the HCSR as a accurate representation of the Barrett M82A1 Sniper Rifle?

[MiPod]

^The HCSR is based directly off the Barrett, so yes. However, remember that the Barrett is only issued to Company sniper teams, not to standard infantry.

I know we aren't supposed to suggest weapon changes, but what would the possibility of the M16 being added as a sort of marksman rifle? It's a pretty easy mod, and I think it would bring a little more variety into the squads' load out. Also, I'm pretty sure that it uses the same cartridge as the M4.

As far as I know, your DMR could be a custom 'M 16' .
However, it is recomended that you follow correct procedure and follow the technotes.
I have re-printed the section on marksman for you to reveiw.
Marksman

Typical rank: Corporal (Cpl.) or Sergeant (Sgt.)
Role(s):

Identify and engage higher-valued targets for his/her squad (e.g. enemy with more advantageous cover like windows or rooftops)
Primary weapon: M14 Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR)
Self-defense: M9 Beretta pistol and KABAR carried in tactical holster
Additional equipment:

GlobalCom Infantry Portable Tactical Node (GIPTN
That is all .

What I actually meant was that it could be a alternative to the M4 for riflemen. But I get what you mean, sorry boss.
