No, I'm  not trying to recreate a piece of the Slammers.  I'm just
trying to get an idea of what a reasonable force would be for playing
a side in a battle.  My table is 3 feet by about 7 feet (hollow core
door.)	Currently I have stuff from SJG, 4 heavy tanks, 6 GEV's, 2
light tanks, 2 mobile artilly, 1 Superheavy and 5 stands of infantry.
Oh, and a MK III.

It's nice, but I like the looks of the DS/Future Wars stuff so want
to assemble a decent DS force that can be used against the SJG in
a pinch.  I don't have the rules yet so points mean little.

So far I've ordered 4 Heavy Hover Tanks and 5 hover APC's along with
24 infantry.  Definately not enough but a start.
