| Centurion | In the realm of concepts, I agree with Dragon_Master_Gunner and the all volunteer armed forces  In the realm of pratical fighting stuff: indirect fire - the true meaning of hitting an opponent who can't see, or hit, you. And if we are talking sick stuff, FutureRANGER, don't forget antipersonnel mines, booby traps, poison gas and biological weapons

| Centurion | And everyone can say it with me "The stuff we don't know about yet!" AS far as stuff we do know about I would say laser satellites and whatever material they made the bunker buster out of. |

| Immunes | As far as actual material objects, I think the Tank/Fighting Vehicle is/was the greatest invention: being able to move over any terrain, engage the enemy with overwhelming firepower, and under armor.

| Optio | I think morale is key... if your soldiers have high morale and something worth fighting for... watchout - especially if your opponent doesnt. Uh-Oh!
