Description
Bridge-building Engineers are combat engineers trained and equipped to build bridges in order for other units to cross obstacles in their path.[1] For the engineers of ComGuard's Take the Time III-chi, 48th Division, this was often done under fire during the dark days of the Jihad. Many Word of Blake units could be flanked only by crossing a river or chasm, and several battles were won as a result of Take the Time III-chi's efforts. Indeed the 48th Division's reputation was earned in large part because of these bridge-builders.[2]
Armament
The engineers of Take the Time III-chi carry only Pulse Laser Rifles into battle; their true "weapons" are heavy weapons and equipment used to build bridges and the emplacements used to defend them.
