War prat,

The pictures are just pictures. An artists rendition of what our
battles may look like. All very cool looking, too.

No one would fight like that. Didn't we change the Capitol Imperialis
from just having the troops on the top able to fire, to "Multiple
firing ports are scattered though out the Capitol's broadside
permitting infantry to fire from these positions. Up to all infantry
stands that compose the company may fire from either side of the
Capitol Imperialis for a total of 2 companies that may fire in
addition to the Praetorians guns. A maximum of one company can shoot
from any one side." This makes more sense than troops hiding behind
archaic, crenellated battlements. Why did we do that to the CI? What
modifiers do they get?

I'd bet, if there were a picture drawn of the CI in the thick of it,
it would have troops raining down a hail of death from the
battlements up top. Not "multiple firing ports".

It sure is nice to think of the battles looking like the pictures,
and to me they do, but those troops we can see aren't the troops that
count. They are part of the Titans CAF and other defenses. The troops
it's transporting are safe inside.

SNEW
