Thanks for the cammo data, Kevin, but I think we have a solution there
- if I can work out the OTHER problems ruthenium causes. :)

> or maybe watch Aliens and use the stuff that the Marines were wearing
(I've never been able to find an exact match for that stuff
commerically, but it is an increadable pattern that I would love to
evaluate).

Eh? What pattern was that? Is it on the web somewhere? (I'd check it
out, but I'm not sure if I'm going to have the time to rent the video
for a while - and I'm not stupid enough to do a web search on "Aliens"
:) ).

> The purpose of the pattern is help break up your outline into an
irregualr one with natural colours and/or one that artifical sensors
can't process very well (that "night desert" plaid stuff is an example,
which was the first of the computer generated camos, which I expect to
see more of in the future to help screw with remote observation gear).

Plaid? Serious? Wouldn't a regular pattern be just as bad as a solid
colour?

> >know how it goes. They're all wearing armoured bodysuits, plus
armoured REVERSIBLE vests. What would be good camouflage patterns for
them to be
>
> Why? If the pattern on thier vests differs from the one on thier
limbs, all you are doing is highlighting the target zone. Pick one
pattern and stick with it. Part of my problem with the use of
snowflauge as urban is becuase most morons dump black LBE on top of it-
just paint a target on your helmet and get it over with.

Oh. Didn't think of that. Well, I'm not a military person, so no
surprise there.

LBE?

> Now, if you them to be well dressed- selctive fire shotguns with
grenade launchers, auto carbines with underbarrel shotguns or grenade
laucnhers, a few suppressed SMGs, flash bangs, riot gas, smoke and
concussion grenades, and good sidearms. <g> (When I clear a room, I
clear a room.)

*lol*

Hey, there's a question for you. I was thinking of having a guy
carrying a military sniper rifle (you know, the sturdy ones that can
take a bit of a beating) with an underbarrel grenade launcher. I was
dissuaded from using that, but I think it's still an interesting idea.
But would it be a GOOD idea?

As for weaponry - standard are suppressed SMGs with EX Exp, APDS and
gel. One combat shotgun and two assault rifles (Ares Alpha Combat Guns)
for heavier work. Advanced milspec laser rifle for the heavy weapons
dude. Grenades of various kinds. And a mage. Then there are the
drones...:) Enough for a covert op?

see around corners and can be used as a Smartlink.
