Just made a whole bunch of such vehicles out of RenLegion tanks.  Looks
good; going to prime 'em tonight.

Since I've begun playing again, I've allowed GMS systems to be used
againt aircraft as well; haven't done so enough to determine the balance
of the idea.  
Consdering how few VTOL I have painted, this probably won't change
anytime soon.

Nah.  Slow Painter Syndrome.  I don't get things painted quickly enough
to get blasé about them, unfortunately.  Each one represents too damn
much 
work.  As a result, I treasure them as though they were my own children.
 My own tiny, immobile, I don't have to send them to college and can put
them 
back in the box when I'm done paying with them children.
