A Note On Ordinance

For those of you reading this blog, it may strike you as curious that in 2005, a military command is running around on horseback and with guns of all sorts of non-uniform variety. This can be explained simply - it has to do with Grenouille. It is not his fault, but it is he who is responsible for ordinance.

After several planning sessions it was agreed upon by the various parties that the force in question would have the following: 12 HUMVEES, 20 Jeeps, one tank, and maybe an Apache helicopter or two, plus some horses, two artillery pieces, several RPGs, and a uniform arming by AR-15 assault weapons. With these weapons and supplies, Groggy Dundee's army would've been a formdable foe - even against 250 marauding Apache warriors.

However, something went wrong with the ordering - the weapons and supplies never got to the fort on time, and now must be airlifted to an undisclosed location - hopefully in Tijuana, the first target of the expedition (as Potts has reported their presence there). But for now, the command had to rely on their own weapons.

Now this was quite tricky. Some people did come prepared. Plasmotic Snake, for instance - the silent Loyalist - brought an FAMAS assault rifle, with a FNP-90 submachine gun as backup. Snake could take on quite a few Apache on his own; however, sadly, most of the rest of the command had not brought their weapons, and the Major was forced to equip them with whatever was lying around the fort - from Henry rifles and muskets to shotguns to M-16s and so on. It was quite a poorly prepared group.

This is just for the information of the readers, is not meant to amuse you, and explains why, in 2005, these people are running around Mexico on horseback with repeating rifles.
