At DSII scale, infantry don't have to that different. Their AFV's would
probably function along the lines of EA tech, given the close repoire
(sp?) these two races have had. Of course, given Centauri fighter
pilots as an example, ground troops may be given to anarchic "heroic"
styles of combat (i.e. a free-for-all glory hunt).

Oh, jeez, I don't even want to think about close combat with those
bad-boys. :@

I've got my citronella torches ready. Citronella? Well, you don't want
mosquitos hovering around while we pillage, do you?
