Tactical Tuesday: Build it Loud, Build it Weird
Alright, soldier, you want a vehicle that’s more than just some rusty old tin can on wheels? You want a ride that’s gonna turn heads, drop jaws, and maybe, just maybe, leave your enemies wondering what the hell just hit them? Then you’re in the right place. These ain’t factory fresh; they’re built, not born. Every bolt and every weld tells a story.
Tactical Tuesday: Meet Your Assets
Alright, strap in, rookie. If you’re rolling with this crew, you better know your assets, inside and out. The team’s got the looks of chaos, but it’s all built on strategy, guts, and gear. Everything in your hands or at your back is what keeps you breathing after the lead starts flying, so you better appreciate it. These tables? They’ll build your squad, gear ‘em up, give ‘em wheels, and show you where and how they operate. Roll, adapt, and survive.
Tactical Tuesday: Join the Best…
Alright, listen up. You don’t call yourself a merc without backing it up. If you’re here, you’re looking for something tougher. Something sharper. You’re sniffing around for a shot at joining them. The mercenary outfit with the kind of reputation that wakes people up in a cold sweat. These guys aren’t your barroom brawlers or wannabe heroes—I’m talking the hardest, leanest pack of professional killers-for-hire you’ll find anywhere. If you don’t have what it takes, stop pretending and scram now, because this crew doesn’t babysit. They break you—or worse—and only the best damned soldiers come out the other end standing.
Tactical Tuesday: Know Your Enemy
Alright, listen up, rookie. You’re running a military campaign, and your players just walked into the wrong stretch of nowhere. They’re not up against an orderly line of enemy troops, but the dirty underbelly of warfare—the shadows of the battlefield. Brigands, marauders, guerrillas, and raiders. They’re not the same breed, so don’t treat ‘em like they are. If you do, your TTRPG loses its edge, and worse, your players won’t respect the danger they bring. You’ve gotta know who they are, what they want, and how to use ‘em if you’re gonna make their lives hell.
