With a name like Yamato, it would be cool if you ran around with a Katana yelling BANZAI!

That's a great way to get yourself killed. Though depending on the level of realism in the game, that might be a usable tactic, in which case I'll wait till someone with a power sword bites the dust and pick up from there.

Thanks, I didn't catch that.

How will we be treating gauss weapons?

I wanted a sawn-off shotgun, but short-barreled magnetic acceleration guns are a bit anti-physics, no?

I'll add a mini shotgun anyway.

Do you want us to bring grenades? I think the riflemen should bring generous quantities of flash and smokes. If we were going for realism, we should pack bread and butter infantry gear like entrenching tools, ducttape, trip-wire, cordite and rope.

You could always get one which uses gunpowder, it would just have limited effectiveness against armored targets. We do have gauss pistols though, so I guess you could have a sawn off with a large power pack stuck on the back of it. It will just suffer from a inaccuracy at longer ranges, like any shotgun.

Also, that's a good point. You'll all get a bunch of tools like that when we begin.

I'm in, if there's still room.

Yeah, you're in, there is no limit for now.

The game will begin tomorrow, probably at night depending on how busy I am. All of your sheets look fine.

Let's do a vote. First wave or Second wave? I want you all to go together

In chess, the pawns go first. And we have deluded ourselves that we are somewhat important and useful.

Second wave!

Guys wielding Sniper Rifles don't like to go in waves. They like to find high ground, with good field of view, at a distance, with cover, and shoot at threats to their teammates who go in in teams. Waves are for infantry grunts.

Okay, if we are infantry grunts, first wave.

Thing is, we have no idea how we'll even be dropping, what kind of realism to expect, what our immediate objectives are, where we'll land, what opposition to expect, ...

So, tactical analysis is hard, and since it seems like a high-mortality quick turnover kinda thing, I'd say we drop in the fist wave, then drop as reinforcements in the second wave after we die. Then we might get some cool descriptions of the initial drop and the chaos that invariably holds.

I kinda agree, and think that the Sniper rifle is gonna be next to useless in this setting, since it's more "invasion" and less "small team strategic strike" or "guerrilla warfare." I might want to edit my guy to have a more up close first weapon. Heavy Gauss shotgun ...
