Admire the gear that comes with the tunnel rat class….Assuming that tunnel rat has gear. Either way ride on the fan boat and mutter about having better odds of survival back when I was trapped in the hole.

Judging from the history, tunnel rats are probably issued suppressed PDWs (Personal Defense Weapons) pistols or melee weapons as primary armaments. They would pack light and slim, to maximize maneuverability in tight spaces. Here's a possibly unreliable link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_rat

Health is good. prosthetics for lost limbs. Play one character at a time!

Six, "Gunbane" is riding the All Terrain Armored Personnel Carriers. They (the ATAPCs) have spider-like legs. Neat, huh? Big, mechanical ones. Full of brass, cogs, and tubes. Feel free to equip a pair of leatherbound goggles.

...

My knowledge of steampunk is severely limited.  If I mention Zeppelins, locomotives, and actual steamships, I'll have about exhausted it.

You can have modern (non-steampunk) zepplins: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airship#Modern_airships

Unit Number: ynk003 (platoon 6)
Inv: gun, pack, gum, helmet, $20,000 worth of stolen military-grade painkillers, Gunbane patch
Status: alive 
Character Points: "chaplain of the damned" "kung fu priest"   
Traits: "Band of Botherers"
Class: Point man

Ride in the thing. Make small-talk and tempt my superiors with DRUGGSSS. They will help with the fear. And the pain. And the long shifts.
Offer them good price, very good price, yes.

Spoiler: SUMMARY STUFF (click to show/hide)

Umm, well. My first character died without making it off the brick, or even onto the ground for that matter.
Second character was ULTIMATE KUNG FU PRIEST, first gaining the "chaplain of the damned" CP for simply closing someone's eyes, after which point I decided to roll with it. Sprayed bullets into the ground, managed to inspire my platoon with at least one +1, before abandoning my rifle to attack the objective with the Lord's own brand of whoopass.
Killed one enemy and gained character point "kung fu priest". Managed to continue the fight for a while, breaking an enemy's wrist and kicking another away from the objective, then died in an entertainingly gratuitous death scene. Respawned as miscellaneous guy with bunch o' drugs in inventory.

Used someone who didn't post an action as a human shield, was informed that my next character would be a corporal, then surfed a corpse to safety whilst shouting one-liners. Managed to survive the battle and deprive myself of the chance to play a  corporal. Yet.

That's pretty much everything, I think.

vvvvv

The recent one is the correct one. You may switch to an unlocked class.

all those who were maimed but lived receive some handy dandy (or leggy meggy) prosthetics.

For the next round, Platoons 4 and 7 are reorganized into Platoon 8, for simplicity. SO, ewveryone in platoons 4 and 7 are now in platoon 8.

Platoon eight will be riding some fanboats (like those swamp boat things, but over the sand) into your next assignment. there will be cacti. And also possibly Dune Worms. And maybe, if you're very lucky, those shouty wrist things. From the movie. You know, the shouty wrist things. The things. Yeah, those.

Platoon seven six (durr. Oops) will be riding more standard AT-APCs (kinda like AT-Ats only not retarded). You will be going into a rocky hilly area to bring civilization to the hillfolk.

Post your character and your action, which should include a variant of "ride the thingy, try not to die."
yes, you will be taking fire. or getting eaten by worms. or catching a cold. I don't know, maybe a little food poisoning?

Turn will be posted Friday!

By the way, why do the clones get prosthetics? Wouldn't they get regenerated limbs? Or get taken behind the barn and shot?
