What's the difference between the rulebooks?

Yes. I think I have the right one now, too, thanks!

I bought a Southern General Purpose Squad. What do I do with that now?

Cool. Are the loadouts standard in the box?

Ah, I see.

Guess I'll read up on the forces part of the book. Too bad I didn't see a color one. That would
have helped tremendously.

I'm starting to think Emirates.

Fascinating stuff. So in order to build my force I have to read up on the other ones?

Ha. That's totally evil

Cool stuff.

Does it ever get unbalanced, them mixing the lists like that?

I don't want to field an eye-roller force (not that I'd actually play against anyone, lol)

Demonstrate rather than post about it? Nice!

ESE and MD sound like what I want to do. I'll build an ESE force and just play them as
having ties to the Mekong. Maybe eventually (a year or more) I'll go ahead and start a
Peace River.

They sound a little like they were inspired by the race in Orson Scott Card's Ender series. I forget
the name, but it's a race of humanity where mental abilities are associated with obsessive compulsive
behavior. The republic pretty much enslaves them similar to Mentats from Dune. I don't know
how on target I am, but I'm basing my suppositions off the summary Balance prepped.

What's the difference (in game terms) of making General Purpose Squads your Honor
Guard for ESE or Fire Support?

Okay, here's the part about the game that I won't be able to crack until I play it (if ever). What
sorts of things do Recon Squads do vs. General Purpose squads? All of this stuff, even with
the rulebook, is extremely confusing to me, so picking options for my first box screws me up
totally.

So is it generally better to modify the squads with upgrades or can you run "naked" lists
with no problems?

These are helpful guidelines, thanks.

Cute.

Are they resin models or are these the originals?
