Well, you've got a very reinforced Russian motorized-rifle company to back you up. I figured you'd like a break from being outnumbered and outgunned -wait when were you ever outgunned
Total force structure of the group you're joining, for anyone who's interested, has 11 BMP-3s and 4 T-80UMs forming the core of the assault group. Since you're not a true Russian unless you're packing lots and lots of artillery, there's a battery of 6 152mm SPHs backing you up. That's not counting the trucks, jeeps, and command tracks, or your own assets.

And then, since the AGS-30 was a battalion-level asset, you're also the one the battalion quartermaster will scream at.
Let's not even get started about the Mi-28...

Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.Oh hey. Just a cool bit of research I stumbled upon: it turns out Iceland actually has a school called the Bifrost University. Yes, that's the same Bifrost from Norse myth. How cool is that? (It would've been the perfect name for an Icelandic school of magic, too. Damn it.)

Layman, Crackie, the light is green. Make sure your main and reserve chutes are functional, hook up the static line, and off the ramp you go! (kicks)

Also, I just posted in the Kingdom Hearts thread. If you've been keeping tabs on both, you'll notice that they're finally, finally starting to come together.
