Having just scoured the net, I can't find any pictures of a GEV. I will have
to recheck my game box, but I thought I recalled a turret on the GEV. I have a
hard time imagining the GEV being effective without a turret, and the
targeting computers can certainly account for deflection.

Last night I worked out more details on the treadmill. The troopship will have
flip up doors with gunports, hopefully reminiscent of a helicopter gunship. I
think I have a reasonable, though gimmicky way of providing high speed pickup
and drop off. And I'm doing it in tan, brown, green, gray and black, so it
should photograph better.
I also redid the turret in tan, brown, green, gray and black last night, so I
should get better pictures when that time comes.
Thanks,
George
