Must have. Of course, I don't have any TDs except for some SU-57s,
which have a turret, it just doesn't rotate. So I'd need to dig up
some SFal TDs to fiddle with it. So I've been kinda skimming these
posts. I saw Mr. Delafield's name and read further 'coz even though I
wasn't around back when he was I've heard a lot about him. I've got
some GEV TDs (Fortress Figs--20 for $10 US. Best deal on decent figs
I've ever found. All they make is GEV APCs and GEV TDs, but if that's
what you're looking for. . . ) but I don't see giving them an initial
level of steath--flying around on a curtain of air doesn't seem too
subtle to me.
