The Modular Vehicle (page 15) is specifically referred to as an attempt to represent Bolo Vehicles (try four class 7 track units - armor class 7 (add reactive or Ablative Armor as desired) - (or more units if you want), Fast Tracked, FGP, Four Superior FCS's, a front Hull of class 7 - armor class 7 - and a rear hull of class 7 - Armor Class 7. Without stretching the classes of guns (which I would do for these, maybe) you can get (Front Hull) Main gun - Class 5 weapon mount, MDC perhaps [here is the weakest part of the representation of a Bolo IMO,] PDS/Sup, ADS/BAS, APSW x 5, APFC, (add Reactive or Ablative Armor if desired) and (Rear Hull) as an alternative try this - you get a HAR, LAD, Secondary Turret class 1 (MDC?), PDS/Sup, HEL/1 (36 Inches, 2 chits versus Infantry plus 60 inch light gun,) GMS/H and APFC (add reactive or Ablative Armor if desired.) Check Math, I did that on the fly. But I think it makes a nice approximation of a BOLO Mark I. But only a Mark I, sigh. If you tweak (Illegal in 40 states... <grin>)you can try a "DFFG/5 with range of a HEL..." weapon. Ouch! > But I do think that the design and game system is flexible enough to Gracias,
