RE: Infantry Walkers for Stargrunt - from Heavy Gear figs...

Thanks.  Sounds like those treads could be treated the same way I
proposed 
treating the wheels on HG's. Cost them for *Mobility type at 110% the
BVP 
instead of the normal 100%, and allow them to treat roads as Easy
terrain. 
Allow this only for class 1 & 2 Infantry Walkers, since anything larger
and 
it would unbalance things too much IMHO (But if you want justification,
say 
that suspensions small enouugh to fit in the feet couldn't support the 
weight of larger Walkers. It may or may not be true, but it sounds
plausible 
enough as a story line).

VOTOMS is another Japanese Anime with giant powersuit-types.  The series
was
mostly ground based units (although they had cool maneuver packs for
Zero-G).  The designs were classic 80's styling - blocky, with slightly
rounded corners and then large rounded parts for the joints and some of
the
heads.	Cool details include -treads attached to the outside of the foot
that dropped down and acted like motorized in-line skates for those high
speed chases across desert and inside giant landships; the tri-monocle
sights - the visual system only used one lens at a time, but had three
lens
for (I assume) normal, telescopic and IR; and the usual range of super
heavy
guns and rockets that you expect from anime.
