On the other side, the natives know the islands well, and considering all the islandss new map and old are in the same archipelago, well the Jungle Island provides great cover and chances are better than not they have poisoned arrows (being realistic) and bombs. And considering Bluesteel is an INCREDIBLY powerful alloy, stronger than steel, its safe to assume it'd be a bit even. But if we're going by the game's rules, yeah they're screwed. Also there is about only 20 people on a server at a time. So yeah :/

Please do not double post. Edit your previous post if you want to say something more.

Um, this scenario isn't supposed to be using game mechanics, although two or three bullets per person sounds decent, I guess. However, the Marines have air support and much more powerful bombs than any of the tribes. Why did you even mention that they have bombs? I doubt that a crude gunpowder bomb will deal any serious damage to even a light APC, never mind anything else. It could probably damage a HMMWV or lighter, but that's about it.

The poisoned arrows might be able to something in a thick jungle, but other than that, the Marines have a significant range and accuracy advantage everywhere else, so at the very worst, the odds would probably be slightly on the jungle defender's side, although the numerical advantage the Marines have should somewhat nullify it, although they might take casulties. Although, if the Marines were bloodlusted, they could probably just bombard the more difficult islands with their powerful explosive/chemical ranged weapons.

I'm not sure how much bluesteel would really even the odds, it is exceptionally heavy and fairly difficult to make, most of the Marin'es weapons are long-ranged, so bluesteel probably wouldn't benefit the tribes very much.

Oh, and if you read the OP, the tribes definitely have more than 20 people, they actually have about 500+ people per tribe. It's definitely not using game server rules, since that would just be silly.
