DS2 Walker size restrictions

I was wondering what the rationale was for the combat walker size
restriction of 4 and 5?  I'm developing a Battletech-esque conversion
for
Dirtside and am planning on breaking this restriction (having size 1-5,
where 1 are infantry walkers, 2 light mech,...5 assault). Am I going to ruin a
play balance issue? I do understand the walkers being 1 signature
larger (will require all mechs to buy Stealth-1 and no larger).

Note that I'm also planning on breaking other parts of the rules, like the
armor/size restriction and adding a level of FireCon. Will share with
the list (and possibly design a webpage) when it's ready and playtested.

Hi, Bill,

I'm sure this has come up on the list before, but, being a vacchead, so I
can't recall details, other than there were suggestions on how to model
'mechs. Until someone more knowledgeable speaks up, you might want to search
the archives.

These rules already exist and are available on the Dirtside Yahoo Group in the
Files section.

Gracias, Glenn
