YETIS IN LZ DAWGIE!

[DAWGIE]

 WORD UP!


EIGHT ( KARMANs wearing YETI powered armors just dropped into LZ DAWGIE!


THEY all have different heads (covered by clear plastic bubble helmets! gonna have to see if i can order these as KARMAN asccessories for the rest of the apes!). four are rank/file powered armor troopers armed with a pair of "jugle rifles", cantalope sized hand grenades, and power fists. one NCO and one doc armed the same way, plus two heavy weapons troopers toting rapidfire, multi-shot missile launchers, again with cantalope sized hand grenades, and power fists. all have jump packs attached to their YETI powered armors, and all show signs of having seen extensive and numerous deployments with little or no down time in between. deffo veterans.


turns out, WENDIGOS and YETIS are raiders and assault troopers (like HEINLEIN' s SST;THE BOOK MI) organized into squads of 8, so i am golden with the assumed TOE i went with. another eight YETIS and that portion of the KARMAN force is finis!


SO did the KARMAN ARMY BOOK, so now i have an idea what the "official story" is on the KARMANS culture, political, military system and weapons.

turns out every swinging set of nads in the KARMAN ground pounding military wears a version of high tech powered armor and a jetpack!! and the 8 ape squad holds true for the ANAKONGAS, the basic KARMAN soldier, too. ANAKONGAs are for short ranged and CQC! these guys are the real screaming, chest thumping space apes! they have drum guns and heavy flamers for support weaponry at squad level, with the majority of the squad armed with powerfists, drum pistols, and cantalope sized hand grenades.

the support weapons and squad weaponry is identified thusly:


DRUM GUN; 4mm VRF SAW using chemical propellant cartridges in a drum magazine.


GRENADE LAUNCHER: direct fire or indirect fire magazine fed grenade launcher.


Z-Z RIFLES: rapidfire laser rifle. apparently the pulses are of such short duration that these weapons appear to shoot a continous hi-powered laser and can be used as ranged "slashing lasers" as well as precision shooting lasers. 4 per WENDIGO squaddie makes these sound like real bad news. . . .


JUNGLE RIFLES: these are mounted in pairs on powered armor forearms and use captured THERIAN nano tech - they are weapons that shoot "smart" explosive, armor penetrating nanotech ammo.


FLAMERS: these are not flame throwers - they are actually sophisticated plasma guns capable of devastating area fire.


ROCKET LAUNCHER: this thing is kinda like the WWII man-portable multi-shot AAA rocket launcher - it unloads a volley of unguided HE rockets into the target.


this may turn out to be the smallest sci fi "army" i have ever "built" because of its power.


DAWGIE, a big yellow banana held in each hand and foot . . . .
