Khadgar: Which of the six Star Wars films is your favourite
and why?
Munro Burton: I would say
Revenge of the Sith, for its
epic space battles. It's a rarity even in SF movies to feature massive space
battles... and Revenge starts right off the bat with one. Then it carries over
into a two-vs-one duel that's ironically to rescue
the main bad guy.
Khadgar: Could you give us a brief background of your GE
career?
Munro Burton: I started in
Raider Company, as a Private First Class and progressed up to Staff Sergeant
before becoming Captain of the Royal Guard. I eventually took command of Dragon
Company. After a while, I left company command for a brief time, to concentrate
on my Royal Guard duties. However, the Army needed someone to command Raider
Company, so I took command of it for a brief time, until a Brigade commander
slot became available. The rest is all recent and evident.
Khadgar: What has appealed to you
about the GE throughout your career?
Munro Burton: The people, I
have to say. Also, it's fun to compete as part of a small club against larger
ones and... produce results out of proportion, if not
winning outright. A very satisfying thing to do.
Khadgar: What avenues do you think the army, and perhaps the
GE in general, should pursue in the future?
Munro Burton: Expansion. I
think we should consider moving beyond Star Wars and training up a cadre of
really good FPS players - in order to compete against other 'clans' out there. Of
course, we don't need to limit ourselves to FPS players. That's just a personal
preference. Admittedly there's the problem of how to integrate non-SW platforms
into a SW club... who knows, it'll get done if everyone wants it done.
Khadgar: Do you have any other comments for NL readers?
Munro Burton: Stay active.
And get dug into Outer Sectors II, we need lots of submissions every chapter to
avoid a bad result... and besides, your COs will reward extra activity.
Khadgar: That's all the questions I have. Thanks for your
time, General.
Munro Burton: And thanks for
being patient. I know my answers weren't quick-firing, Ensign.
Khadgar: No problem, General. Thanks again. :)
