I have to find time to build a new Mech. My current Mech of ultimate mass
distrution is not going to be quite as effective as I use it more and more.
Eventually a strategy is going to be found to take it out and I don't have much
in my arsenal to back it up.
Oh well I guess its my loss if I don't have time to build a new Mech soon.
