In the GZG universe at least, hiring or buying a bulk freighter and a couple
of cargo shuttles is a (relatively) cheap exercise compared to some universes.

So, a respectable mid-tech unit might look something like a large body
of infantry, armed with basic kit, assault rifles and some nice wheeled
vehicles. Instead of big gun artillery, perhaps some heavy mortars and
mortar vehicles. Issue a liberal spread of anti-tank rockets and
missiles and some SAWs and a few interstellar barges.
Heavy armor is provided as needed by locals or other mercs. Air support would
also be provided by employers or other mercs.
I've actually been eyeballing some Peter Pig WW2 Germans as potential
sci-fi
troops. MP44s work for ARs. Panzerfausts make good buzzbomb rockets and
panzerschreks can be worked in as guided missiles. Throw in MG gunners porting
their guns and SAWs. I'm even looking at using Early War
anti-tank
rifles as sniper weapons.

the StG44.

I think that's what he means when he said MP44. The StG44 got at least three
different designations during the war, one of which was the MP44 (it's
earliest designation, before Hitler was aware of it IIRC).
You would be correct. I realized I had used the Âsecret codename for the
StG44 after I sent the mail.
