[GZG] Re: Mercs

Were there not stories of the Germans doing just that for the Spanish in the
SAW? Buy a maxim and get the gun crew as well. I am pretty sure this might be
a story though. Once again not my war, I did like the film 'The Rough Riders'
though.

I know a little more about the naval side and the Spanish sound like one of
those corrupt and incompetent governments you get in military SF. A few good
men buried in the mess. Mind you the same seems to apply to them until the
Spanish Civil War, officers who had no experience of command at all and
rampant corruption, incompetence and nepotism.
