I remember at the time noting the incosistancy between _Rolling Hot_ and

Mayfair's boardgame, where the hovertanks (luftpanzers?) are unimpeded
by 
water.

This also negated a scenario I wanted to try out, where a couple of
Slammer's 
tanks hang out on the bottom of a lake, wait for the enemy to overrun
the 
area, then come out of the lake in the middle of the night and hit the 
encamped bad guys.
