Yeah. The feel of the two different mecha and the description Luther gives definitely show in the visuals. Hehe, child of a BMW, speedboat and Harrier Jet? It doesn’t sound too far fetched actually; they got a ‘classy’ BMW look, speedboat-like curves and probably built on Harrier Jet’s level of mil specs. Oh, and jet engines coming out of the axes, apparently!

Overall I like this page and the Dragoons in it, but I’ll definitely say there’s something a bit quirky to it. Can’t place my finger on it, but some things look a bit awkward. The hill in panel 1, the infantry soldiers’ grip on their rifles, the stance of the Dragoons.

That is a good question indeed. Faced with such overwhelming odds? I’d rather play dead in the grass underneath the assault vehicle.

Good bye “melee only” theory, hello interior of the bunker! *ducks*

I recall earlier comments about the Free Marketeer mercs being poorly trained but maintaining a high level of professionalism. I wonder if this is indicative of that; controlled fire and good aim, but enough panic to briefly forget that assault rifle rounds won’t penetrate.

Nice analogy between the two Limbs and the mecha genre at large.

Oooh, those are some brave soldiers there. I wonder what they were hoping to achieve? Better to burn out than to fade away?

Yes, in a blitz like this the Dhuvalian are going to disable first, kill later.

While I’ve no doubt it’d take a lot of power, we should have seen some other mechs with ranged weaponry by this point, then. Versatility and combined-arms warfare tend to carry the day.

That’s not all they broke…
