First, I have been associated with Tanks and Tankers for over 20 years.
On a
modern MBT you need 4 crew. Part is to share the load, part is to learn
the
trade, and part is to be able to continue the fight. One crew member is
25%
casualties on a 4 man crew. For a 3 man crew its 33%. A 4 man tank can
function(degraded) with only 2 crew. A 3 man tank is degraded by one
casualty.
Some time these are non-combat losses (field duties, sick call, etc.).
Second, Martians. Try size 4 or 5 walkers. HEL or DFFG and an CBR
attack
(black cloud). Don't worry about the design system, go for playability.
I'll
post the URL for a pic of some tripods I made from "Johnny Lighting" LIS
Jupiter2s.
