Subject: DSII: Warbots, WarDroids, etc.

Hello, Here's an idea I'd like to try out in a game. War Droids for DSII
translated in SGII. A wardroid is a cybernetic vehicle of size one or smaller.
You build them just like a size one vehicle, using the apropriate
transportation method (walker, Anti-grav, etc.).  Generally they are
attached to squads as support weapons. They can be individually targeted just
like a vehicle. WarDroids of capacity 1 or 2 also have the advantage of their
small size, attackers trying to target them count as if they are firing at a
target one range factor further away. You could effectively build a WarDroid
of capicity one that carried only an APSW to support infantry units... In my
case I have some Capacity two wardroids with stinger like missile launchers
that are LAD units. Please tell me what you think. Phil P.
