[Cynnabar] Fwd: A2 Observer City Guide Updates

[Martha Sieting]

I'm not sure that "heavy combat" means anything to most people either.  For a lot of folks, this might bring to mind images of sumo wrestlers or other similarly large individuals!

The expressed preference of Their Majesties is for "armored combat" or "armored fighters", but I agree that it would be worthwhile to see what the Media Liaison has to say on the matter!
