Facemasks


In the midst of the COVID-19 panic, it's important to remember that COBRA wore facemasks way before it was cool. My Battalion got a supply of masks in, too: they look like someone recycled a bunch of underwear and sewed it back together. I'll stick with my neck gaiter and MOPP-4 kit, thanks. If the regular facemasks work, why do we have to quarantine? And if they don't work, why do we wear them?

*Laughs in MOPP-4*
One of these days, I'll have to get my platoon in MOPP and run into the PX yelling "23-19!" and "where'd he go!? Which way did he go!?". Hilarious, but probably a good way to get arrested. You win some, you lose some.

And my models get respirators and full-face masks to keep the germs out too! Not because painting eyes on 28mm models is a pain. Not that, at all.... Lord, but I hate painting faces. The stock Scion commanders get swagger sticks to indicate their command ability: this one carries a flag. In the grim darkness of the far future, semaphore still works!


Some of the older objective markers. I really ought to recreate these, they were great fun to make. And, it adds so much to a game when you're fighting to reclaim a badly-wound pilot or a vital comms relay instead of "objective #3: that neon-green token over there".



HAIL COBRA.

-Six out.
