The first few minutes tend to kill off the Guardsmen who are too stupid to duck, too cowardly to not get shot by the Commissar, etc. Those that survive it tend to last longer. 15 hours, for instance. So we're probably not particularly special in our regiment.
The PCs are special in some ways. The assignment of Fate Points allows the players to manipulate their destiny and it works as an explanation within the mechanics of the game for characters with "potential for great deeds", allowing you to save your possible hero from what could be certain death.
I did say "not particularly special", not totally average. If nothing else, we're hanging around with a bunch of specialists, so there's some special right the-*BLAM!* "TERRIBLE PUNS MAKE THE EMPEROR CRY, SOLDIER!"

And I was partly cracking a joke on the fame of Guardsmen of dying almost as soon as they make contact with the enemy, though that is closer to the fate of Conscripts, even more so the ones from hastily-organized, ill-equipped PDFs.
I know, I'm just saying our hastily-raised regiment has probably already gone through that, removing the incompetent ones.

I realized tht Iron Discipline is useless because it only applies to comrades. Can I switch it out for Air of Authority?

Is it just me, or will a backpack power pack actually reduce the clip size of my Multi-Las?

Huh. I guess it does. I suppose it's more for Las Cannons than Mutli-Lasers, then.

Who're we waiting for? Also, on second thought, having my character leave his attire back in the "barracks" would probably help with socializing. Though I suppose that was considered somewhere along the way but then I dismissed it because the current situation would be more interesting. And because the clothes are probably glued to a Commissar's body.

We're not waiting for anyone, I'm posting something either later tonight or tomorrow at noon or so. I'll try to pump out updates once a day, but sometimes it might be a tad bit longer.

I changed the list a bit to make it easier to do the Logistics rolls for, though I'm still not sure how many grenades we'd get.

Really sorry for the long delay. It was honestly a mix of procrastination and shit happening. Gonna try to write out some stuff now, expect regular updates to go back to normal.
