The Warrior Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I have.... I don't recommend trying it. Anyway, Moon has posted that it won't be this weekend but sometime next week, 'sometime' meaning anything from Monday through to Friday I guess. So now I know not to bother checking again until at least Tuesday... oh no... I will be SO happy when the waiting is finally over. Meeeeeee tooooooooooooooo! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Well close is relative. The Earth is "close" to the Sun when compared to Saturn. We are "close" to the beginning of the Universe, when compared to the end somewhere out in infinity. It's all relative. On the other hand, relative to the life of a mayfly we are still one or more lifetimes away from the Marines module. Much better to think on a galactic scale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtMuhammed Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I tell you, some people are going to pee themselves when they see a Marine squad go to work. Especially if you are playing Red. I'm just saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Yeah, holy CRAP do they put out some serious firepower Still, they aren't immune to incoming fire. Especially if you find out, the hard way, that the Reserve Rifle Platoon you're trying to flank is accidentally changed to CRACK Experience. OUCH The thing is that once the Marines fix a target, all Hell seems to break loose. Oh, and it is nice to be able to effectively take on moving infantry targets at 400-500m range. The M32s are super fun to watch firing at that range! "Thunk".... wait for it... wait for it... wait for it... "Bang" Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Tiger Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Well, with the Marines supplementary manual posted, that's step 1 of the 'three steps to heaven' completed. Now, when are we going to see that announcement about the result of the video competition? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFightingSeabee Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Awesome to see that ground mounted mk19's are in the game. The manual did mention dismounted .50 cals, will we get .50 cal teams (ground) as well??? With both of these, I will be able to make Seabee scenarios! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntarr Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 The Hvy MG PLT has both Mk19 and Ma Duece 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 The Hvy MG PLT has both Mk19 and Ma Duece Is it "Ma Duece" or "Ma Deuce"? I had the same comment on the manual. In WW2, it was "Ma Deuce" although I also see that "Ma Duece" appears to be a contemporary alternate spelling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to get my slacker arse in "The Pit" for that faux pas in transposition. Damn your eyes Sgt Joch, this is pay back for all the heck I gave you about with the campaign, I know it! I deserve it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean 20kg weapon (plus ammo and kit) on a 13km hike ...:eek: I carried Carl Gustav on 11 km march once - the only wish after 6km was to fall down and die somewhere under a tree, after 8km i wished i did steroids, and after 9km mark it was all a blur 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper Tiger Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Well, that's Monday gone with no download or an announcement of progress. Heck, even the Video competition is still open. What is going on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field Marshal Blücher Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 OK. If the Module isn't up for download tomorrow morning I'm going to have to . . . um, wait some more. Dang! I can't come up with anything to get BFC to get this out faster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theFightingSeabee Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Happy Birthday! Many more. Is it "Ma Duece" or "Ma Deuce"? I had the same comment on the manual. In WW2, it was "Ma Deuce" although I also see that "Ma Duece" appears to be a contemporary alternate spelling. "Contemporary alternate spelling" means people don't know how to spell anymore. I was on a .50cal team, which was 4 guys. The team leader, gunner, assistant gunner, and ammo bearer. We all carried the weapon, 2 barrels, a tool box full of tools, a tripod, a very large starlight scope, at least 400 rounds of very heavy ammo, and our individual kits including full armor and m-16's. We drove it long distances and lugged it to fighting positions. Many of our fighting positions just happened to be up on big ass hills. It can be done. As soon as your weapon is in place you have to start digging. Entrenched positions are ideal with a non-mobile crew served weapon. Then you immediately begin to set up an alternate position to fall back on. After laying down some lead, consider relocating. It took us maybe a minute to set up ready to fire. Maybe less. Hopefully, the newest module will make the weapons teams move really slow, but not take 10 minutes to set up. Even 3 minutes is way too long. On short movements, we would even carry the whole thing on the tripod with 2 or 3 guys. Made setup that much faster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
