RE: Walkers, was RE: grav

What? Your walkers can't rollover? Can't sit up?
In Battletech, one of the tactics that I used was 
to run a very fast mech across the field, saving
enough movement points to go prone at the end
of the movement. This lowered my profile until 
the next turn, when I got up and attacked, or 
repeated the advance.

Again, a lot depends on how agile you view the
walkers.

Actually the biggest "nail", is the fact that the walker has only two
legs.
All it takes is a hit strong enough to knockoff one leg, and the walker
is
horizontal.
(On it's front,  on it's back, ect.  Read: Useless...actually it might
still
be usefull as
cover for infantry...)	Whereas a tank with one tread blown out still
has
it's
weapons useable.  This fact would be true in any game dealing with
walker
units.
