Which one of the Vanguards is your favorite?
TL;DRBoth speakers favor the Harbinger, the torpedo-armed fighter-bomber variant, one citing the original multi-role twin-engine concept and field upgrade kits, the other its name and olive drab color.
I am a fan of the Harbinger. It's the torpedo-armed fighter-bomber version. Going way, way back to the original concept for the Vanguard, the idea was that it would be similar to the twin-engine fighters in World War II: the Messerschmitt 110, the P-38 Lightning, and so on. So it would be able to be converted to be our version of a night fighter or a fighter-bomber or a long-range recon photo plane. And so that's what we're doing here with the variants. This idea of field upgrade kits, battlefield upgrade kits, where it happens in the field rather than something you go home for. We have some cool fiction that we've worked up on the military side where these mixed squadrons of Vanguards work together to do long-range bombing runs from forward operating bases. It's cool stuff.
I like the Harbinger just because of the name. Harbinger is my favorite. I like that word. It's also olive drab, which is my favorite color.
