Re: prototype 6mm hammer slammer combat car photo

I do not think of combat cars as APCs either, but I was toying with the
idea that they have a larger "crew" than the norm for a line vehicle
that could conceivably bail out and actually function as an infantry
line element. That is where the INF-1 came from originally, and I was
hoping to see what the list thought of that concept. Add in the 3 Class
2 weapons, and it forces it to a size 4 - which it is not. It looks like
a large class 3. If I drop the infantry carrying aspect and it becomes a
Size 3 easily:

Hellion Mk I Combat Car
size 3, armor 3, FGP, Class 2 DFFG x3 (SUP FCS), ECM-BSC, Fast GEV

which would cost 173, compared to 291 for the earlier stat set.

I am leaning towards the cheaper version and I haven't made up cards
yet, or committed to any stats for the players... More thoughts?

  Interesting stats. I must admit I do not remember the combat 
  cars being APCs in the stories, but maybe it is just me. I also never 
  pictured them as being as large or larger then the tanks. How does 
  the new figure match up against the Deimos size wise?

  I am looking forward to reading the AAR for this battle. Sounds 
  like a nice scenario.
