Let me see. My mech's torso's height is 4 "brix." The width is 6 "bumps." The
length is 8 "bumps."
Correct me if I am wrong:
4x6x8 = 192.
192 / 10 = 19.2
19.2, rounded would be 19.
So therefore, my medium mech costs 19 construction points for the chassis
alone? (No Pilot or Guns)

| (...) If you go by these guys' rules (which IMHO are pretty good rules), then you only multiply the larger two of the three dimensions: so for a 4brix x 6dots x 8dots, the larger two dimensions are 6 and 8, giving you a Size of 6x8=48. 48 makes your (...)
