    In the older stories, HS could throw NBC at opponents, but
themselves
were not protected against NBC. They had nuclear dampers, but these were
clearly expensive and weren't provided for all independent formations.
Some
of the older stories showed this.
    They had gas shells that could be fired from OPEN REAR howitzers,
but
armour and helmets that couldn't protect against gas.
    The story "Rolling Hot" is from 1989! I don't have this and so can't
comment. I do know from your's and Mikko's quotes that later stories
changed
some of HS's technology.
