RE: [DS] Calling all used tank salesmen

You certainly seem to be super-tank happy, Andrew!
Personally, I've found that size 2-4 vehicles are most effective, as you
want at least a d8 signature, otherwise most shots will hit.  It doesn't
matter what your armour is, if they can hit you, they can draw a BOOM
chit (and usually will).
My personal favorite is (gasp!) old Epic whirlwinds; size 3 fast
tracked, armour 2, with twin SLAM/3

It was worked out on the list about 2 years ago that 1 FT point = 60
DSII points.  Unless someone has done some new calculations, this still
holds (with the change from 50CS to 20CS / mass).

Theater ADS?  I don't recall finding anything to cover that in DS.
