Good luck digging it out of all the worldbuilding spam I've left in this thread...

Well it was certainly fun to do, at least.  I like Inaba more than Mriya, if I were to pick between the two planets - Inaba's got that Luddite background they're still mired in, and I like that mix of old world low and high tech.  Wood stove furnaces and holovideo players, ox plowing a field as a hovercar skims past.  That sort of thing. 

That and bunny girl corporate tech rep.  That goes a long way.

A thread ker-bump to keep it from falling off the main page.

Perun has a pretty in-depth video on rocket artillery systems, and it's a good watch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkAM2nMIJxw

I was originally going with an all-tube-artillery paradigm for the Inaban Defense Force, but there's something special about squeezing the extra 20km range out of Heavy Salvo Rockets compared to Medium Tube Artillery.  So I took the Type 95 APC, stripped the turret off it, beefed it up a little (with a reduction in engine weight to keep it at the standard 1.5 tons) and slapped a six-shot rocket pod on it.  Each rocket weighs 500kg, and brings a pretty decent amount of firepower against its target.  It's capable of keeping up with mechanized and armored units, so it can provide fire support to a force on the move if necessary.

Their heavy battalion is pretty well equipped as far as a frontline combat unit goes, I'm impressed with the capability.  I wonder what kind of artillery they bring to the battalion.

The Cascavels and Urutus seem like the quintessential Fringe vehicles.  Simple, effective, and rugged, and probably in every mercenary unit out there.

Task and Purpose went to Kursk!  I won't link it directly, but it's a very interesting video.  The Ukrainian comments about the Ma Deuce were especially interesting.  Apparently, it's the single most reliable piece of kit we've given them.  They like the vehicles, but they're maintenance hogs.  The commentary about EW was also fascinating.

Task and Purpose's latest video from Ukraine talks about drones!  I'm now convinced drone teams should be four people...
