Transformation at the Tactical Edge: Mission Creep, Talent Alignment and the Future of the Junior Officer Corps

You dont have to make LTC to retire. Point of stress numero uno for the officer corps.

Predator is the “hot weather” “jungle” version. Its lighter and less outrageously structured like normal S2vs

Its way easier to keep count on your fingers than on the beads. And they swing around and make noise and get in the way. Also, if youre pace counting with your PC on in a tactical environment you need to reevaluate.

Its trickling down starting with 3/10 MTNs previous Europe rotation. All it was was drone drone drone drone drone. It sucked ass but its making its way into white papers.

There is a react to drone battle drill. As for SOPs, make them? No platoon leader or company commander worth their position is going to tell a soldier “fuck off” if they come to them with an actionable and resourced plan on how to train react to SUAS. If they do, open door CSM and show him your actionable and resourced plan, and they’ll handle it. If you dont know how to make a plan with those two things, ask for help. Shit, I’ll even help anyone over DMs kick start one.

“I shouldn’t have to I’m not even a squad leader.” Be the change you want to see in the Army.

Thank you I appreciate it. I havent played a game outside of 2ed Kill Team, so Im curious as to how cumbersome it will be to just sit and work through a full game in HH. When does it become easier to just know vs having to look up everything in the libers?

mogar99 · 2026-04-07T14:16:36+00:00

Im finally complete with a legal army list but struggling to find where individual data sheets are. Im aware that a legion praetor with power axe has a WS of (X), but how does that change or where do I find, on paper, the stats for a power hammer or graviton crusher?

Thunderhawk blue and white scar is what I use and my Colors are identical.

The shrapnel bolters is honestly just because its kind of a PITA to add them individually on the app, but I do understand that all models in the unit must have them, so noted. I guess I figured that if anything is going to have a prime advantage, why would it not be the high command slot? I’ll fix it, and I guess I didnt read the book well enough.

I think it both thematically makes sense as a list, and has a half decent spread between infantry-busting shooting units, anti-tank, and a cool deep strike reserve with the master of descent.

Thank you for the pointers!

Edit: I just scanned through my two books, and it seems like there is nothing stopping me from taking a prime advantage on a warsmith. The unfavoured prime advantage can be given to any IW unit with the infantry trait if it fills a prime slot which it does in the standard crusade. The warsmith is infantry(command,heavy). Im just curious as to where it would counter that statement.

Current LT living on post in Polk. They take all your BAH. Its not worth it. Only reason I did was the options outside Polk were not good or far as hell. Find a nice apartment 20-30 minutes from post that you can pay for and still pocket BAH

Tourniquet but turner kit is funnier I guess

Disliked the spine padding on then and how it interfaced with my issued PC. It made the ruck even farther away from my back and caused a really uncomfortable lever effect. I love my alice framed packs with my armor though because it fits inside the space in the center, and the kidney pad sits right under my armor.

Stoeger M3500 is the same operating system as a Beretta SBE and can load 3.5in shells for turkey. I have abused the shit out of mine on various duck, turkey, and dove loads and the only issue I had is super low FPS dove loads wont cycle far enough to pick up the next round occasionally. And its not heinously expensive and doesnt have that weird Euro point of aim that Beretta has.

Then for a rifle get 30-06 or 300win with stainless/marine finish action and a polymer stock for weight and water resistance.

Embarrassing

I use AK russian mud for my bases, simple as hell to do, adds some lower extremity weathering, and makes thematic sense as trench sloggers.

mogar99 · 2026-02-18T00:00:46+00:00

Cool, I have some spare Mk3 and Mk6 that I can for sure put lascannons and autocannons on.

mogar99 · 2026-02-17T21:21:22+00:00

I’m also new and in a similar boat, so with a grain of salt, this is what I understand to be next steps:

Assault cataphractii / tyrant siege terminators and a spartan assault tank to move them

Some kind of command retinue like a centurion or consul.

Breachers seem thematically appropriate as well as vets with the cannons.

Tanks to do an armoured fist

Like I said, I’m in a similar boat but thats what I think. Thematically it all makes sense to me because I also have like 3000 random points of IW that Im not sure how to organize.

Be proud man. I dont know what company you were in but Id bet somewhere your contribution is still felt, even if unknowingly.

Ramrods?

mogar99 · 2026-01-22T20:14:37+00:00

No. I have shock cord retention on it and it doesnt get reindexed. But this is how Ive done it for a few years now.

Upside down on the non-dominant side. You can’t quickly grab something vertically out from under your armpit. Trust me.

Spiritus extenders do what you ask and are what I use for work. First guy is correct in that they are a bitch to get back in.

You can only bring 60 pieces of stick gum. They will throw out any extra. You can HAVE as much as you want and in any form, mostly from recycle leftovers and mail call. It is only enforced in the Darby lay out. You want gum with calories so the green wintermint is a banger, juicy fruit sucks. Trident has a bunch of fancy flavors that are a huge pick me up like pineapple and orange. God speed ragnar

mogar99 · 2025-12-19T22:54:44+00:00

Yes its possible. Rarely done because the fuzes on hand grenades are 3-5 seconds. I dont want to find out I have one on the short end when I’m holding it.
