Done.

My run through also brought up a thing I think we forgot: There's no list of prices to upgrade your base, and speaking for myself my plan to use Super Sabres as CAS planes was immediately shot down by there being no rules to buy airstrips.
 
How do the different weapons vary?
Mechanically? You'd have to read the Wikipedia entries, but generally, they're better as the cost increases.

For instance, I bought a Lahti because it doubles as a sniper rifle and a anti-IFV/Anti-Helicopter weapon, since it's a 20mm gun that just barely qualifies as man-portable.

Really you just need to figure out your tactical "style" and build around that. Cheap out on fields where you don't feel you need as much.

That, and.... well the OP was supposed to have links to all the equipment listed, so you could just click on them to get their Wikipedia page. I'm guessing if Dust copy-pasted the content of the posts, rather than doing reply, copy, remove the quote tags, paste, then it removed the hyperlink formatting from the original lists I wrote him.

XD My plan was an air superiority PMC but since we start with no airstrip.

Btw just found T-74 as an MBT but its under a diff cat here. Was that intentional?
 
Also @Dust and echoes the Redeye came out in 67 and is probably on the market
Roger that, will add asap
D'Oh! @Dust and echoes I don't think we put in a method for determining your starting troops beyond how many rifles you buy!

Unless that was another balance change....

In the meantime, I'll assume it is, and buy guns accordingly.
Unless it's a problem, we should just be able to relate "guns you own" directly to "soldiers you own"

I assumed that it would be done over the course of the game. Since there's so many things that one can do to upgrade a base, players would tell a gm what they wanted to add to their base that turn, and the GM would give them a price for it.

EDIT: as for airstrips, you could probably burn a positive trait on starting with one.

So if one wanted an airfield, how much would it be?

Oh! Dust, are you going to threadmark players, and/or pass me secondary OP status so I can do so for you?
 
Can @Dust and echoes or @Theravis go over my revised sheet to check if I messed up on something?

Btw, my CEO is someone from a video game that was made into a movie. Anyone wanna guess?
I don't see anything technically WRONG with it, but doubled mission rewards is kinda iffy, as far as upsides go. That's pretty powerful. Maybe tone it down to 50% more GMC rewards or so? @Dust and echoes?
