packs should just be straight infantry, with PA available separately.
Keeps things nice and simple.

I'm away from my Traveller books right now, but the ubiquitousness (is
that really a word?) of the Trepida grav tank, the Astrin APC and their
derivations would make something similar invaluable to any Traveller
gamer. Maybe the Zhodani designs as an OPFOR? Some air raft/Star
Wars-ish speeder style light vehicles/FAV's would be good too!

OK, that's something to think about.

General question to all - if we DID do some infantry-only deal packs, 
should we include a squad or so of PA (where available) or just stick 
to light inf only?

Expect to see some more Hi-tech grav very soon!  ;-)

I've got the old "101 vehicles", very good inspiration but of course 
it covers all vehicle types and all tech levels - any particular 
items out of it that you had in mind?

Input and thoughts are always welcome - we can't guarantee we'll 
follow them, but they all get considered!  :-)
