Re: "Combat Walkers"

Having started this particular line I have been following it and noticed

that the concept of Combat Walkers seems more popular with DS2 players
than 
Stargrunt.  I'm curious as to why this is.

I assume that it is likely to do with the over-abundance of 1/285th
walkers 
and PAs.  I'd also venture a guess it has to do with the fact that
Walkers 
were more directly adressed in DS2 than in SG.	Of course there seems to
be 
the general tendancy of a lot of GZG players to shun walkers all
together 
because of their admittedly far-fetched practicallity.	I do think that 
smaller 'pwersuit' style units have some practical application, but huge

bipedal goliaths are way out there.  Just some thoughts.

On another note, those of you who have posted your own personal designs
and 
ideas for models, thanks and keep them coming.	I wish I could get scans
of 
mine, but that'll be awhile.

Later,
Eli
