Wars in the New Era

To answer your question about the DOA contending with the Renault FT'S is simple. most of the battles are fought in the twisted forest, and along the forest road an barrier river. Along the barrier river in the open fields that surrounds Fort Stalwart, the Ballista Renault FT'S can be very destructive to enemiy forces trying to advance across the open field to Stalwart. But along the forest road or in the twisted wood itself the renaults can become swarmed easely and destroyed, unless protected by ACG and FCB forces. In my game the Empire has about thirty of these Renault FT tanks and roughly between 5-15 normal tanks in their Armored Corps. Anymore then that would cost to much for the limited economy of the purist empire to maintain.

Maybe the officers can carry a Webley Fosbery and wear uniforms like Zed from Zardoz.

It is a cool looking piece.

I am addicted to the study of World War One these days, and fascinated with the first tanks on the scene.

Anyhow, to the very first post in this thread, the aspect of Post-Apocalyptic armies in the Mutant Epoch. I think one thing that would happen is as soon as the sight of armies gathering and facing off, predators, humanoid and animal scavengers would hurry to the edges and rear of these forces knowing that easy pickings will soon be had.

A friend of mine, who is a big time hunter, says that around here, in the middle of British Columbia, when he shoots a deer or elk, it is a dinner bell for the local bears. The bruins know that an easy meal of the gut bag will be left in the field after the hunters move on. That said, target shooting may also bring bears looking to scavenge, but not find what they were looking for and perhaps get frustrated. Would a Devi-Bear also do this, say, following in the wake of an excavator party, snacking on the dead of the fallen?

Interesting stuff and a great thread here, folks!

LMFAO!!!!!!! Well put Prov13!

What made me think about it at all were 2 things.
1. The Webley
2. Tactics

Even if there is an impenetrable force field protecting the smarty pants, it was transparent!(but did have a recorded voice warning if you got too close..)
Once they got a man on the inside, all it took were hand signals to communicate with PSH on the outside.
The Immortals had AI and Telepathy and Stunning Mind Powers (and bad erotic movies) while the Brutals used basically flags from 1/4 mile away, but that was enough.
"The shield's going down at this time, hang out until my signal. Then bring the guns.."

Hey, if you watched the Book of Eli, then you watched a watered down version of what is Zed.
I'll bet Eli never said 
"Stay close to me - inside my aura!"

I really liked the book of eli, perhaps a "from their perspective" campaign where you run as purists in a foreign land where they're oppressed, and you're trying to smuggle purist contraband and stuff. would be interesting.
