Yeah, really&#33; We&#39;d be like...

Pilot to bombardier, 1000 lb laser guided bomb lock on THIS brick in enemy bunker.

Personally, Id like to see what a few Green Beret A-Teams could have done during the Revolutionary War

Ever hear of Roger&#39;s Rangers during the French and Indian War? He implimented alot of innovative ideas for the time. A kind of guerrila warefare. Rather than lining up in rank and file and shooting each other to shit. The standing orders of Col. Robert Rogers are still a big part of U.S. Army Ranger doctrine.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Standing Orders
1. Don&#39;t forget nothing.
***
2. Have your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, sixty rounds powder and ball, and be ready to march at a minute&#39;s warning.
***
3. When you&#39;re on the march, act the way you would if you was sneaking up on a deer. See the enemy first.
***
4.Tell the truth about what you see and what you do. There is an army depending on us for correct information.
***
5.You can lie all you please when you tell other folks about the Rangers, but don&#39;t never lie to a Ranger or officer.
***
6. Don&#39;t never take a chance you don&#39;t have to.
***
7. When we&#39;re on the march we march single file, far enough apart so one shot can&#39;t go through two men.
***
8. If we strike swamps, or soft ground, we spread out abreast, so it&#39;s hard to track us.
***
9.When we march, we keep moving till dark, so as to give the enemy the least possible chance at us.
***
10. When we camp, half the party stays awake while the other half sleeps.
***
11. If we take prisoners, we keep &#39;em separate till we have had time to examine them, so they can&#39;t cook up a story between &#39;em.
***
12. Don&#39;t ever march home the same way. Take a different route so you won&#39;t be ambushed.
***
13. No matter whether we travel in big parties or little ones, each party has to keep a scout 20 yards ahead, 20 yards on each flank, and 20 yards in the rear so the main body can&#39;t be surprised and wiped out.
***
14. Every night you&#39;ll be told where to meet if surrounded by a superior force.
***
15. Don&#39;t sit down to eat without posting sentries.
***
16. Don&#39;t sleep beyond dawn. Dawn&#39;s when the French and Indians attack.
***
17. Don&#39;t cross a river by a regular ford.
***
18. If somebody&#39;s trailing you, make a circle, come back onto your own tracks, and ambush the folks that aim to ambush you.
***
19. Don&#39;t stand up when the enemy&#39;s coming against you. Kneel down, lie down, hide behind a tree.
***
20. Let the enemy come till he&#39;s almost close enough to touch. Then let him have it and jump out and finish him up with your hatchet.

#19 is my favorite. Like duh, someone should have figured that one out sooner. Here we she the birth of fieldcraft and tactical discpline.

yeah, Ive read up on Roberts Rangers. They didnt always have the best level of success though

[Assault (CAN)]

I would change the M4&#39;s with M-16s and also arm them with AT4 &#39;CS&#39;s Which are cabable of being fired from an enclosed space. That would probably do a good number on any German tank.

Well, they&#39;d be wearing all the latest body armour and have all the latest NVG kit. So, I would only use them at night. It would also be a good idea for them to carry MP5SD&#39;s so they could have silent weaons. Since the MP5 is in 9mm, they could pick up ammo off the Germans if need be.

Now that I think of it, you should try and keep the ammo to 2 different calibres to ease supply problems. So, give them AR-10B&#39;s and M-240&#39;s, MP5SD&#39;s and a Beretta 9mm&#39;s or FN Hi-Power 9mm&#39;s. That would keep the calibres to 7.62x51 NATO (linked and single round) and 9mm.

It might even be a better idea to adapt the weapons to use German ammo. So, change the M-240 to accept 8mm Mauser/linked ammo. Same goes for the AR-10, you could change it to accept 8mm Mauser or the 8mm short round that was used in the StG44.

A platoon of M1A2&#39;s could do some serious damage though. Hey, maybe it would be cool if the P-51 or P-47 or Spitfire were modified to carry 4 or 6 Stinger AA missles?

...I put way too much thought into this, lol.

A bit of a flaw in your logic there Assault, the MP5 is a German design

So? There was no rule against it being German

Well, the gun on the Abrams is German too.

Noo, you&#39;re all wrong. I would have given the Gerrys attack helicopters

well, the M4 SOPMOD (Special Operations Peculier Modifications) is capable of accepting a silencer, so since 3 people would be carrying them, you could easily use them for silent take downs if the situation called for it. a 5.56 round would be a hell of a lot better than a 9mm round in any outdoor situation.

And my experiment wouldnt be limited by ammo, it would be limited by life. I was thinking about how far you could push a squad of this kind before they were gone, not before they were out of ammo, so changing the ammo typed wouldnt be necissary. They&#39;d have all they needed.

And yeah, i meant to say the Demo guys would be carrying AT4&#39;s. Sorry, i&#39;ll go change that.
