Here's a squad (1/2 platoon) of ever-resourceful U.S. Colonial Marines in urban
gray camoflage, including two rifle teams and a command staff consisting of a
sargeant, a lieutenant and the obiquitous artificial human.  Check out the
pulse rifles, the smartgun operator, a flame-thrower, ~and~ motion trackers.

BTW, don't mess with that sarge.  :-,

LMKWYT!

I thought I was doing something new, or a little different with my mercenary
designs...I see Jsproat beat me to it months ago...

I wish I would have seen these BEFORE I posted my figures+weapons to .space.

<insert tongue in cheek>

I have seen the error of my ways...
I see now that Fast Eddie does not belong in .space, as no one has ever
posted anything remotely similar in concept or execution to the .space
newsgroup.  (as witnessed by this post from many months ago?)

<remove tongue from cheek>

I see now that my space mercenary/marine idea wasn't original and
earthbraking...

jsproats marines are very good and his weapon designs are inspirational...
I will probably borrow/emulate a couple of his designs in the future.
