RE: SG II - Combat Walkers

Most of the Heavy Gear walkers have rocket blisters packs. I assume the
same rules as PA would apply. 

An ECM system on a small walker could also be interesting. Maybe you
could convert one of my models into a ECM/Prowler style unit run around
a disrupt all those commands being handed down.

What about the swords these guys have?

BTW -Owen! What about smoke dispensers????
