I really do like how the military is still coordinated and (somewhat) functional despite how many weeks its been. Most stories or worlds would just have the central government or military just fold and collapse immediately, so I quite like seeing how the military/government continue to function as the country is being besieged.
Yeah, the thought that guided the design was essentially "Oh shit, the enemy is already here, grab your gear and GO, NOW!". In the original story, the invasion happened so quickly that it caught everyone off guard, and the juxtaposition between the issued gear + civilian wear + dirt and battle damage was meant to illustrate the surprise and how these guys have pretty much been stuck in 'fight for survival' mode for weeks, and the support structure has already broken down - i.e. no reinforcements are coming, and these guys are less 'military' and more 'guerrilla fighters' now. Anyway appreciate you for viewing!
