Ballistic slug-throwers are just fine, cheap, and they work. I might use a railgun, particle beam/cannon, or laser in the unit as a force multiplier, like a SAW or a crew-served .50 cal, or like a Mk-19 grenade launcher. Again, not everybody would be able to do that.

That is what I was intending in a nutshell. You could be in the most advanced tech battle there is but most of the time war comes down to simple economics; if its cheap and effective that's what goes. OOC is being built right now. As of now I'm going to have a severely scattered and de-fanged armor unit stranded in the city with the rest of the infantry units. As a rule of thumb the units that were either pushed back in to the city or went chasing after the pincer by taking a shortcut through the city will have broken chain-of-commands. Lots of field promotions basically. Suggestions are appreciated!
