Chi-ha

The Walkers are smaller and more manueverable. [THe Chi ha has a 1 point on a
d6 penalty for both attack and defence compared with the Shiki [The first
Japanese walker] The only thing that stops the Shiki totally out classing it
is the way the shiki only got 3 satchel charges and a shaped charge explosive
lance as anti armour weapons. When the Japanses catch up with teh second
generation walker designs and give it an anti armour gun to back upthe
machineguns then thats about all she wrote.

It should be said that the Chi-ha in Gear Krieg has one advantage to
help make up for its limitations as a tank. Its more manueverable than most
and thus harder to hit.

The only early walkers I really like the look of are the Roundheads and the
Valkuries. The Shiki is very umm.

Unfortunately I couldn't find a picture on www.dp9.com for the Shiki, though a
number of the others turn up.
