Aseaheru can i have one of the PK machine guns as my free personal weapon?

Its in the list of personal weapons for your nation, so yes.

[Funk]

I was trying to keep in character and stick to Warsaw Pact weapons but the game is active punishing me for it.

Why is 7.62mmN cheaper? I can literary save 500 switching to NATO ammo and another 500 on the gun.
Why does 12.7mm ammo weight 10 kg more per 100 rounds than 50 cal ammo?

So the smart thing for me to do is not buy a machine gun, spend the cash on more rockets and grenades for the team and have some one else buy the MGs for me.

How are .30-30 (7.62x51 mm R) rounds, 20kg per 1000 but 5 to the kilo when loose? in RL there 25g each!

Right i'll change my list.
Did you get my message about the map?

[3_14159]

And in other news, I am having a absolutely horrific time finding topographic maps of Poland that arent from 1880-1956 and that dont want pots of cash. The closest thing I can find is a hexbased thing that was made for Twilight 2000 but only really shows roads, settlements, waterways and forests.

What exactly are you looking for? Simple, topographic map of poland? Hexes?

1. I am almost certain there is, and that it makes for a harder roll. I will look it up though shortly.

 Does not look like it

Should we just use +1 difficulty level?

Edit: Just found the Land Rover Defender. Can we have one? (Relevant: http://pmulcahy.100megs3.com/light_uv/british_luv.htm)

[Aseaheru]

 Simple topographic map, yes.

 +1 difficulty level sounds fine to me.

 If its on that site I listed up in the OP, yes. Which one specifically?

-to funk-

 7.62mmN is slightly smaller (by 3mm) and is slightly lighter. As to why it is cheaper, beats me.
 12.7x108 is longer and slightly heavier than the 12.7x99mm BMG, but not that much heavier...
 Probably anti-soviet bias.

 I got the message, yes. Thanks for it.

 -To Pi-

 You can genn up a new character if you want.

[3_14159]

Simple topographic map, yes.

Well, there are a few, but I assume you found them too.

If its on that site I listed up in the OP, yes. Which one specifically?

It's the Land Rover Defender SOV, from British Light Unarmoured Vehicles. Of course, it appears as if the site's listed prices are generally lower than the rulebook's.

You can genn up a new character if you want.

Will do.

[Aseaheru]

 Armored or non?

 Also, I havent seen that map yet. Sadly, its not quite what I am looking for.

The site you posted says 15kg for a 100-round belt of 12.7mm Russian.

I just realized that i forgot to put my gender down on the sheet, it's female.

Ooo just saw this. Never played twilight, but I did play the Twilight 2k video game from the 90's way back when.
Still taking characters?

[Aseaheru]

Yep!

[Knave]

Cool, any specialties that the team could use a boost in?

[Aseaheru]

 Arty, looks like. That or tacmissile or grenade launchers... Possibly tracked vehicles...

 Anyways, we now have seven people(counting GMPC). Which means that there will be another GMPC added so you guys get a third vehicle die. You guys want a vehicle or some animals?

 Also, Pi, You buying the Land Rover Defender SOV, right? Armored or non?

[StrawBarrel]

If heavy weapons don't interest you, you could also be a mechanic or medic.

Anyways, we now have seven people(counting GMPC). Which means that there will be another GMPC added so you guys get a third vehicle die. You guys want a vehicle or some animals?

I think a vehicle since animals would probably slow us down (but I suppose we could buy a trailer big enough to carry them).

Animals don't need fuel but they need to be grazed and rested so there even slower than vehicles over the long run.
Indeed there just as fast as walking for long range travel like in real life.

We should grab a Bicycle, there silent and don't use fuel so there ideal for scouting.

Note what gear i have before you start gear shopping.
