I can't seem to find the standard regimental equipment data (most importantly weight) in tables. For example, how much does one week's worth of rations weigh? How about the poor weather gear or mess kit? Is the canteen a seperate item from the mess kit or do they share a weight (box?). Does it contain one day's worth of water or is the water supply assumed in the rations (i.g. 2 weeks worth of rations have two weeks of chemically activated water or something with it)? What do the basic tools do and what do they weigh?
Does a guardsman carry their rucksack into battle? If not, what do they do with them?
Does the regimental standard lamp work as a throwable glow lamp as a kind of flare or is it a desk lamp item?
The Only War book states: "If, during creation, a character gains the same Aptitude from different sources, he does not gain it twice. He instead chooses an Aptitude that he does not already have and that shares a name with a Characteristic. He gains that chosen Aptitude instead."
So, for example, the character I am creating resulted in two ballistic skill aptitudes (sharpshooters and weapons specialist) as well as finesse aptitude (weapons specialist). I can exchange the second ballistic skill aptitude for...what? I don't really understand the book's paragraph.
Thank you!
