Re: GEV Physics and GEVs for engineers

I never could get my rather conventional mind around this one.
Knowing the need to have both your recovery and engineer
assets keep up with the maneuver elements.The simple solution
I came up with in my MTO&Es for both Grav and GEV units is
a large flatbed GEV on the same principle as the USMCs' large
hovercraft. This can carry a conventional tracked recovery and
engineer vehicle.The main reason for all this is I just couldn't see
how you made a plow work on either a GEV or Grav vehicle. And
towing a GEV would be bad....)
