Re: prototype 6mm hammer slammer combat car photo

Yeah, I read that, and was really tempted.
But I did not want to unbalance this fight - regular DSII game.
I like the idea of using PGN stats for true Hammer's Slammers scenario,
though.

We start playing in about 2 hours... I'll try to get an AAR out
tonight...

  4 guys.  All armed with SMGs.  And if the car is dead
  they are not going to be in the mood to tango. 
  Actually, IMNSHO

  Medium hover AFV, open-topped, with 3 tribarrels and
  gunners in open fighting compartment. Iridium armour,
  fusion power plant. Slow GEV, class 3 (medium),
  signature = D8. No stealth. PGN/1 x 3 on pintle
  mounts, enhanced firecons. APFC.  Armour 3 (Iridium).
  FGP. Enhanced ECM. 

  Is a better writeup for the Combat Cars.  PGN is a
  longer-ranged DFFG proposed (along with that writeup)
  in Jon Tuffley's Hammer's Slammers conversion for
  DSII.

  http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Station/3565/slammin-the-dirt.html

  Has the whole article.  It ain't quite
  balanced--Powerguns are NASTY.  But it has the flavor
  of the genre.
