In my story (of which the mythical Chapter Five will be published at the end of the week) the humans and the mons that take human equipment at first seem to have an overwhelming advantage, and they do, for the most part, but then someone remembers that humans don't really like fire all that much. Brutally savage scenes follow. But that's just the first arc. I plan to expand on this military concept by pondering what effect modern military techniques and equipment would have on the livelihoods and prestige of the exploration and rescue teams from PMD, and how the diffusion of current military knowledge through the educated population (ie, former officers and their children, NCOs, scholars who were simply curious) after more than a generation leads to coordinated efforts by mons who disagree with their nation's government's (having also absorbed human philosophies from school and started applying them to their world) to carve out some frontier territory and make a "utopia" for themselves.
Yeah, I know I sound like a giga-autist right now. I'll just get back to writing.
