As for hieght, we used a brick (brik?) as being one unit. For 'mechs, we took the
torso, and multiplied the larger two of the three dimensions. So a tall skinny
4x2x6 (width, depth, height) torso would cost as much as a short squat fatty
6x4x2. For applying movement and cost, we considered them to be treaded ground
vehicles (we considered the Brikwars 2000 'mech creation rules, but there were some
areas we weren't comfy with - for example, 'mechs can easily come out faster than
small flyers with those rules, so we stuck with the '98 ones)
