Darn--and I've been designing all those FGP tracked vehicles, too!  Oh
well, 
I guess it's back to the old drawing board...
...NOT.  I actually use the FGP's in some designs because of supply
reasons 
(not everyplace will have a plentiful supply of petrochems, but water is

pretty abundant).

Seriously, I do not think that you can easily overestimate the effect
that 
small, pwerful, portable fusion plants would have on vehicle (and
weapon) 
design and tactics, logistics, and just about everything else.	Going
out on 
a limb, I would say that comparing CFE armies to FGP would be like 
horse-and-buggy vs WW2 motorized.  Not a great analogy, but something
like 
that anyway.
