Hay Tom,

Hmm, All PA eh? Not being familiar with the Traveller tech I thought he
was
just using really effective armour! Well PA removes the worries about
own
vehicle support. The woods environment can play havoc with his LOS. he

The ambush game we did with the Ambush force consisting of 2 Size Two
Walkers and 6 Size One Walkers against a Victim force of 4 squads
mounted in
Size Two wheeled APCs was not teh easy walker-over one would have

Even teh best ambushes can really screw up...........
