RE: DS3 points or no points

What I meant to say was I abandoned the design system to play the game. 
I 
designed several Striker Vehicles, as well as a couple of Tech 12 TCS.

[Tomb] Never designed a vehicle for Striker obviously. ;)  (They had a

which gave what some people on the list want... it just took a
spreadsheet and a lot of desire to expend time building vehicles.....)

[Tomb] Striker had some strong points. I think it did some interesting
things with unit orders. And it covered a lot of sci-fi stuff pretty
