Tech base is GURPS 3eTL13, with Alterran, Asgard, Tollan, 5th Imperium, and 1701-E databases. We manufacture using Nano-tech, use deflector shield on armored vehicles, and our foot "regulars" are using laser rifles with under-barrel 20mm mini-missiles. The /Mount Olympus/, an Alterran-style city-ship, is "parked" 50k feet above the south end of the city. And we have both ground-level, and sensor drones above the city. > > > > Hope that helps. > > > > --Jeffrey Vasquez-- > > > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of Troy Guffey > Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 4:45 PM > To: CaerAzkaban; XanderZone List; GURPSnet List > Subject: [CaerAzkaban] OT: Military advice sought for Ragnarok:Battlefront > > > > > > I'm looking for some military tactics help.
