US Marines - Units?

[Mooseman]

Hi -

I'm doing a mission that's set close to kolgujevs coast.

Obviously I want to use US Maries for the West side. The mission is partly recon - partly assault.

Now, which units would you choose for US Marines? Is there any decent US Marines add on?

[MPKING]

The only decent marines made are Codeblue's! - http://codeblue.opflash.org/  But at this time they don't have camo that match kolgujev (They say they will make forestcamo marines later, right now they are busy with they're Mod) so i think your only choise are Frandsen's marines -http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?sekce=unofaddons/units&archiv=true&page=2
This is not to say that Frandsen's marines are bad but Codeblue's are more detailed and up to date.

Sorry bad link!
Try this instead http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?sekce=unofaddons

[MPKING]

Shit.. one more time http://ofp.gamezone.cz/index.php?sekce=unofaddons/units&archiv=true&page=2 ;D

One thing you should know about the Codeblue marines is that they have a bodyarmor system that makes them tougher and are not matched by other soldier addons. So that gives them a maybe to big avantage.

Thanks, I'll check them out...

Btw: Do you know the US Marines beta 3 over at http://www.baconbomb.com/modworks/
?

They have a woodland camo and look quite good... Only thing it seems, they appear to have only a m16 weapon loadout

[MPKING]

Yes i know them, sorry i forgot but i think they are still in beta.
There camo is not forest, it's ment for desert warfare with desertcamo helmet and boot's. Codeblue have something simular for there marines.

I find that the Earl/Suchey Marines work better in woodland than desert, but that's just me. You can always change their weapon loadouts in the editor.

[MPKING]

Yes they probably do, i'm just a realism freak that don't like marines running around in a forest with desert helmet and boot's.

[Mr_Shady]

Desert kit's the height of fashion mate

Earl-Schuey's Marines are wearing a NBC suit, or something of the sort, which only comesin Woodland camoflauge. Their Marines are meant to represent the Marines fighting in Iraq.

I really don't see why this can't be a ranger job. All you need is a ranger batallion which will need the support 2 amour platoons, 4 Artillary Regiments, an Air Aussault Bridage, a Tactical Fighter Wing and a carrier battle group

[Frosty]

With that many troops you could essentially take over Kolguyev in one day.
4 artillery regiments? That is a lot.

[Coporal_Punishment]

Australia has 60,000 sailors, soilders and airmen/airwomen and we have 4 artillary regiments so it can't be that much on average we have one artillary regiment per bridage

[Frosty]

Well, Australia is undoubtedley the best country in the world, so it only seems fitting  

[Coporal_Punishment]

Agreed cheers mate

[Mr_Shady]

If anybody else said that about their country, I'd get a bit indignant about it, but the Aussies are alright by me
