While the troops bicker about the possibility that an enthusiastic scout could do too much damage to a large number of weak enemies, a column of black smoke rises up from behind the rocky outcrops to the south, and - as if in response to their concerns - a huge, metal juggernaut churns its way over the hilltop.

How did you get the LMG, when you were carrying a service revolver and a MP5SMG beforehand?
Although Rule 2.7.2.1 says “Exchanging a weapon for another one is not losing the original weapon”, I can’t actually see a mechanic for exchanging weapons.
I thought there was a rule that said you could return weapons… *reads over ruleset again*
Hrm. Its not there. It should probably be added or just assumed it is there.
This is Nomic, private, we need to add a rule if we want to be able to do something. You should revert your combat and try it again.
I’ve reverted Clucky’s attack, as he seems to be AWOL. We’re back to:-
