I'm going for a Band of Brothers/Aliens/Halo feel. There will be three sessions. In the first, the PCs will be 6th level. They'll jump to 9th and then 12th for the second and third sessions.The PCs are unnamed so that the players can personalize them a bit. Each player will get two PCs: one enlisted marine and one of the specialists. I still need one more specialist, but I haven't thought one up yet. Sniper? Military Intelligence? Heavy Weapons or Mech Jockey?Equipment may change somewhat. For instance: What's in a Confed marine standard kit?
