Hi All!

I can't resist commenting.





I completely agree with what Kelvin says here:

But I have to disagree on the Marine Commander thing....

To me, it makes sense to make the Commander of the First Company
something better. The Marines are based on the old Roman Legions. The
First Company was the best, and the most respected. To be in that
company was an honor. To lead the first company, was the highest honor
any soldier of the legion could ever hope for. Aside from leading the
Legion itself.

Any soldier, able to lead the first company, would be braver, stronger,
more experienced, and smarter than the leaders of the other companies.
Why not up his CAF by +1? Or raise some some other stat up, just a
little, to give him the credit he is due.
