I found a nice read here, Starfleet Marine Corps Infantry Manual. It is a lot better than I expected. The SFMC ditches women's shaver phasers in favor of the assault phasers we see in ST:VI. Also it compensates for the lack of a squad support weapon, adds in anti-tank weapons, powered armor, and so on. Every weakness from lack of indirect fire to anti-aircraft guns is covered. The funnest part to read is the actual infantry tactics section. It sounds like this guy knows what he's writing about. Of course it's all fun and games, but it's nice to read what Star Trek infantry should be like if they were done by someone with an inkling of actual knowledge, and comparing it to the actual depiction of Star Trek military in the movies/series.Edward Yee wrote:LOL -- point, and I saw the Starfleet Marine Corps yesterday. While I think it's a bit much, thanks for that injection of a tad bit of sensibility.
Note to self: Resist the 'read the VS board' urge better/more often.
