Interested. Have you done any work/research on the weapons these soldiers and sailors would be using or piloting? I noticed you want us to RP as militia. I can do that, but I do come here with a military background as well as a vast knowledge of military history and could help with organizations or just about anything military related. Read my bio.

Ahhh, I may not have the experience you share, but I do have my interests on Military history for different Nations.

As for research and the military standing point, the best comparisons to have for the style of command would fall around the Late 1930s. The Federation would have a vast superiority in technology and advancement, much like during the Third Reich. The Gersan Coalition is a nation of desperacy, focusing more on mass size and strict, almost extreme, orders in order to remain standing (Hence a mission like this, something so dangerous and sacrificial). This is easily alike to the Soviets at that time, the Gersan Officers not taking retreat as an option ever.

The weapons expected to be used would most likely be similar to that of the same period. However, the Gersan Armoury wouldn't be as effective as those of their adversaries. Their Walkers being sent on the mission, bipedal and four-legged, are mostly experimental weaponry being deployed in order to combat the more advanced Federation's.

Very few of the Walkers are Solo-Pilotable, and so require a crew to operate. The specific Walkers that certain players will control will design their experimental vehicle. As for weaponry specifically, I'll be going around thinking of service rifles, anti-tank rifles, Early Machine Guns, moderate Sub-Machine Guns and Marksmen rifles that suit the style of the time period, but suit the Steampunk genre.

If you have any suggestions of your own regarding the equipment, uniforms and so forth, I'd be more than happy to see you do so. There'll be an inclusion of Steampunk-esc gadgets, such as robust grapples. Seeing as this is a fictional world, there can be a few inventive bits and bobs. Though if I make anything distasteful, I apologise in advance.

Also, as for our Division, it's a mix between the Militia and Reserves forced to join this mission. The balance is heavily in the Militia favour, but several Reserves are used to ensure the Militia don't charge into the face of death unguided.
