I saw the pictures of your army in there ... the armored car died :) Those
were cool. I really liked your Jeep, with the black Howitzer..

Heh heh heh heh. Knights ... evil ... :)

That was merely an example. I'm not bringing in Harriers, and I don't think
ANYBODY else is even bringing in any flyer of any type... I'm actually
bringing in multiple Mech's.
Here is a loophole in the Vehicle system.... To get a treaded vehicle's cost,
you calculate out the area of the chassis, divide that by ten, and then add
the class number. My Small Mech has a chassis area of 16. Divided by 10, it
comes out to be 1.6, which, when rounded, is 2 CP. Then add the Class Number,
and the entire mech costs 4 cp. (No weapons or pilots added yet.. all in all,
however, it costs about 30 CP.)

At that point, you would start making allies with somebody who had alot of
Gyro Rifles, or somebody which was capable of taking down [tough] air targets.
Who, after all, would NOT want the close up anti-personel backup of the
Knights?
