Actually, we used a different statistic for Mech's because of that "loophole"
because it didn't seem very fair (hopefully Mike will forgive us, unless of
course he was the one to suggest it... I don't know-- it wasn't my idea)... We
essentailly modified that rule to measure the area of the largest plane
contained within the "chassis". Hence, for a mech, you would measure the
rectangular area in width times height, rather than width times length. But in
general, the vehicle itself IS pretty cheap without weapons, turrets, etc.
Although I will say, just for fun's sake, I calculated my AT-AT's value... that
got expensive :) I think it came out to about 80pts for the chassis alone, and
altogether something like 220 points (with the 3 pilots)!
And as far as fairness goes, we were pretty generous... Although none of our
offers were accepted (except Shaun's, I think?) I think we all offered up our
excess troops/vehicles to be used by other people... We had one NL-person who
needed a few more points as I recall-- and I expect we would have done the
same if we felt that the teams were sorely mis-matched, as in the
harrier-vs-knights example. The fun of the game was in blowing things up and
just playing in general... There wasn't TOO much focus on winning :)

| (...) that (...) Clarify that for me. Do you do < width x height > of the chassis, or of the entire mech? And what is the height? What are we using as "1" height? A brik? a plate? LegoMasterLuke (24 years ago, 12-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.us.oh)
