Yes, I can see what you're on about. I have had a good look around the
Ogre
website now and I have to say what little of the Paneuropean GEVs I have
seen I like a lot. They are very much to my taste. I will have to
investigate further - does anyone know of any sites with clear photos of
the
GEVs? And exactly how many are there, three I think...?

The reason I have not included the DSM110 is it's name. "Rommel" just
screams NSL, don't you think?? Because I really like the mini I was
considering the option of saying that the FSE had them too under a
different
name. However, I thought that since it's 82 years since the FSE and NSL
went
their seperate ways (assuming we're still 3rd solar war period), doing
this
was pushing it a bit!! Otherwise yes, the Rommel would have fitted the
design ethic well.

Thanks very much for the ideas!! Anyone else have any others??
