Just a shout-out to Magistrix Riley and her Magistracy Monthly. I don't know the name of the artist, but those covers absolutely slap. Especially the one honouring the Dragon. Even the Rakshasa is better in the Combine colors!
"Ja. As per request, we put all our biggest loons in a separate department. Nein, I have no idea why they named themselves Spezialsonderforschungsabteilung Ludwig. Nein, I have no intent to ask. Be glad that they are now contained."
"Our plucky test driver and our brilliant chief junior researcher proudly present the latest and the greatest in the Lyran armor development: The Steinerpanzerwagen!
This cutting edge Defiance technology now allows you to equip your planetary militia with a true wall of Steiner steel! Looks fetching on any military parade! Order now and receive a bonus year long supply of spare parts!"
"Nein, nein und NEIN! I will not forward this to the marketing! What sales potential? We are Defiance Industries, not Quickscell!"
I was reading through the XTRO 1945 and it got me to think...
How to approach translating the Great War vehicles into CBT? XTRO 1945 has a number of tanks with their movement as low as 2/3, but WW I has armored vehicles with their top speed barely breaking into 1 flank speed territory. That's not even legal by the BT engine rules.
I'm starting to think that none of it is doable as a BT vehicle except for mixing in vehicle models with 6mm infantry and making them custom motorized platoons with secondary heavy weapons slowing them down.
