They're not ALL gunner's, I have NO idea were you got that. And they can make it in whatever era they want! The only thing limiting them is creativity!
So if we want a squad of Egyptians or Mayans or something we have to somehow give these cultures a bazooka so we can have an anti-tank squad member? How about a grenadier or heavy gunner? I'm PRETTY sure the Egyptians did not have any guns. I could be wrong.

But I'm not.

Maybe it's just my lack of creativity?
Nonono, you give them bows, longbows, and heavy-support bows.

True that.

I think by gunner squads he means squads that require guns.

Oh, big difference then.
I didn't say they required guns, did I?

I think the word "gunner" points to guns.

As does the word "anti-tank" point to having to fight against tanks.

And "grenadier" is someone with grenades.

Not our fault you didn't explain yourself well enough.

Anti-tank grenade gunner! Awesome!

I need to make that.

Actually, a grenadier was found out to be an elite officer who usually carried grenades. They didn't HAVE to, but they usually were just higher-ranking soldiers who had training with grenades.

That's funny, since the term "Grenadier" is older than the invention of the Grenade.

EDIT: I bet they drank grenadine, too!

Now that I've got a few entries in this, I feel it's safe to post my first squad . . .

CROSS

BTW my floppy penis, under your "rules", this team would be disqualified since it only has six members and has no rifleman, squad gunner, heavy support gunner, or bazooka-man. Therefore, I created this contest so I (and people like OneEye, J+B, and Dr. X) could show off my cool squad without having to make it conform to your view of the perfect squad.

I like the blue helmet guy. That's a neat way to make bombs.

Grenades have been around for a long time - modern grenades are just smaller hand-throwable versions of the old bowling-ball-looking ones, which is why they're called "hand" grenades. Grenadiers were originally siege infantry who used bombs to blow up enemy emplacements. So now you know!

During the course of my investigation I have discovered that the word grenade comes from the apparently-deadly pomegranate, which makes pomegranates even cooler (IF POSSIBLE).

I always thought pomegranates lost a few points for being ridiculously hard to eat.
