I'd say it's perfectly reasonable for the LMG gunners to carry 1000 rounds, I did it just fine, if we end up with a HMG, they will probably need the help, as for filling the roles, I'll happily fill one of the scout slots, having his own eyes on a target would help my character prep his charges more effectively.
Mah bad, reposted in sheets.
Name: Heinrich Strauss
Rank: PFC
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Physical Description:
6'2" 200 lbs


Skillset:
Heinrich has an eye for explosives; he is very knowledgeable about their use and implements, what compounds are better for different jobs. Coupling this with the degree in mathematics he obtained he is capable of quickly solving demo calculations in his head, giving the appearance of wild lucky guess work to those who don’t know better. He is also quite a brawler, and good with heavy machinery.

History:
Born in Escholzmatt to his single father, for his mother died delivering him, Heinrich grew up somewhat rough. Escholzmatt is a mining town, and from a fairly young age, only 13, Heinrich worked the mines with his father to help with increasing ore demand. While this was going on, he still attended school, though his grades suffered, however, the only class he still did well in was mathematics. The added income from both he and his father working did help with money around the house and they lived comfortably, muck more so that other miners who had to support their families, and for this they were envied by their neighbors. While it never proved too much of a problem, they were often left out, not openly shunned, just not kept in the loop. This would all seem small in comparison to Heinrich’s 18th birthday, the day he would join the conscript forces, go off and go to college. The day was wonderful, but dark, for the first time, he and his father would be truly alone, separated from one another, the only friend they each had. And so with a heavy heart and tearful eyes, Heinrich said goodbye to his father. But it would only be for 2 years, and so Heinrich had hope to see him again after conscription. Where his academia had suffered for his work, his physical heath had not. 5 years of working the mines had made him strong, tough, able, and training was significantly easier for Heinrich than for others, his marksmanship scores were average, something that the others mocked him for, those that had come out of the more rural hunting communities, who had grown up behind the gun. But it was no laughing matter to face Heinrich hand to hand, where the other had marksmanship, Heinrich had brawn and skill in a brawl, for there was more than one time he and his father had gotten into a bar fight. After completing training, His instructors had noticed his competence for close combat, and aptitude for demolitions, and sent him to engineering courses for further training. Here Heinrich refine the knowledge he obtained in the mines of blasting and extracting, learned of emplacing obstacles, building fortifications, mine warfare, and a slew of other engineering tasks. During his Engineer training, he attended college, majoring in mathematics, his only academic subject worth mentioning, and obtained a degree. It all seemed Heinrich was getting set for a bright future, but then work came, his father had died, cave in in the mine, and Heinrich was all alone. He hadn’t any real friends, only acquaintances, no family to speak of, and his conscription was just about up. So Heinrich went back home, buried his father, and was granted early release, he was brought into the 3rd Jäger Battalion as a resevest and went back to work in the mine. But now war looms over Augstbert, and the reservists are being drawn up for her defense.

Psychological Profile:
Heinrich is very methodical; there is no problem that can’t be solved with the proper application of force. However he is quick to anger and his fists are capable of a fair bit of force.

Equipment:
- Gewehr m1891/14 - G91/14 ( Schmidt-Rubin 1896/11) - The younger characters probably were issued the G34 when they were serving in the ranks, but there are older marks as well, such as the G91/14 (which is an even older design rechambered to a modern cartridge when the Principality switched calibers to something modern). It is a much longer weapon, not nearly as handy as the G34, and the G34 has a much more compact action; the sight radius is about the same, though the barrel is considerably longer.
- 5 POMZ antipersonnel tripwire mines.
- Basic demo kit w/ crimpers, 10 Electric blasting caps, 50ft of black powder time fuse, Handheld piezoelectric detonator, 400ft insulated wire
- 5 MON 50 DFC mines
- 3 PT Mi-P Anti-tank shaped charge mines
- 20 pounds of composition C moldable explosive
- 3 canisters of M4 fuel thickening compound
- KS 98 saw-back bayonet
Alright, my character sheet should be done, the explosives are not regionally accurate, if this is supposed to be Swiss based, but they are era accurate, hopefully you won't find that a problem.

Kinda late and I have work, so I'll do the CS tomorrow, dibs on demo, as an actual combat engineer, I'll make sure it sticks to historical accuracy.
Definitely interesting, hopefully there will be enough.
Ah, ok, I was not aware he was tackling that particular endeavor.
Yo, this still happening?
