I'm writing a script for a feature film which involves (among other things)
one marine unit hunting down a group of civilians who are lead by an ex-marine.
The ex-marine tries to outsmart the other group's leader by trying to use his
tactics against him. Unfortunately for our heros (the civilians), the
marine leader doesn't go by the book (he's unorthodox) and captures them.
I don't know anything about marine tactics or how you could foil them if
you did.
I was wondering if any of your subscribers could help me. I can imagine
it would make a great discussion.
The marines and civilians are in an unknown city in the future which has
been destroyed by some unknown force.
I don't want to give too much away. The technology would be similar to
that in Aliens.
