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!<br>
<br>
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!<br>
