RE: Printed works, period kinda long

I'd probably want to keep the Vulcans.	If you can depress them far
enough, they'd make great anti-personnel weapons...

Like they say, Write what you know.  He also did Limits of Glory, about 
Waterloo.  I had it kinda pegged as the late 80s--still had Vulcans, 
but the M-1s weren't vanilla.  Although I'm ordering M-163s for my 
M-1A2 batallion based on aesthetic considerations--Avengers look goofy, 
and GHQ doesn't yet have the air defense Bradleys out.
