Can I still have my Desert Eagle?
Hello Plissken.

I can't find a user with that name on old forum. What were Your forum and/or character name?

A Desert Eagle would be as modern as a flintlock pistol is today.

And I have decided that no personal equipment will be allowed - It was a real mess with people toting stuff from axes to dual wielding pistols. I had to judge every case individually and it got out of hand real quick. The only way You can have a personal item is to get it in game...

What is new though is that there are shotguns and sub machineguns available for mission loadouts - Weapon loadout and who carries what is decided by the Sergeant before each mission.

Hey there guys!

Nick I'm coming back as a new character, no more Nick Steel.  I'm yet to decide what type of character he's going to be but I'm pretty sure his name is going to be either Rick Rocket or Octavius Mongo.

This should be more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

Hmmm now I am stuck, I created a new character Marion Windrider...but I really didn't get to play John that much...only did about one mission before it all stopped...

Can I see what my old char would look like in the new format?  Might want to roll with him again..really did like him.  Let me know. ???

2 questions about CC

1) What class does the Corps need right now? (I think I will keep Schrodder, but he will get a magic MOS change)

2) I must be retarded or something because I can't find the character creation topic on the campaign board. Do I have to reconfirm my e-mail or something?

Though I'm sad to lose him, I'm deciding to not continue with Bojan so as not to butcher the character. What I'm going to go with, I'm not sure yet, but I need to think of something soon.

EDIT: I ended up making a Bojan clone as far as stats go. I'll endeavour to do something different with his personality/history.

US Colonial Marines will not use classes from now on. If there is no one to man the M56 then there is no one to man the M56!!

Yeah it is slower - But I just optimized the database tables and it is noticable quicker for me now. I doubt it will ever be up to the other forums standards however. This is the unfortunate drawback of changing forum software, You get a lot of garbage over to the new database from the old forum.

I hope it is acceptable now at least.

From what I can remember Combat actions is how many actions you can make in a round, different actions cost more points. Knockout Value comes into play when you are badly wounded you have to roll under that value on a d100 to avoid being K.O'd.

I just found out that the form works over internet-explorer on my computer. So... now I'm ready to apply my new (old) character.
Nick... how is it looking... do you permit me to transfer good ol' Collins?

And what do I enter under those tables (knock-out, combat-action)...?
