I saw the posting on Grav. Here's one thought:

What makes you think a Grav vehicle is the only thing that needs to equally
armour its bottom and top in the GZGverse? If I can invent top attack
missiles, I can maybe invent bottom attack missiles. Mines are nasty. We might
have a bouncing projectile that hits the bottom armour. I think weapons of the
future will be fairly dangerous to whatever aspect of a vehicle they choose to
be, and consequently consideration must be made to armouring all
sides. Top-attack GMS or rear-attack will be
present, as will bomblets. Maybe I produce some bomblet rounds that stick into
the ground and explode upward as a vehicle drives over them..... in short,
armour must appear on all sides. Or else you run a big risk. And the GZG
armour model (right now) seems to support that contention.

We call those scatterable mines.

It's also real nice to reseed a breach or to box a unit into a fire sack or to
interdict a supply line or to do any number of other fun things.

But that's a whole FM.

In one FMA game we played the local miltia rolled a grenade under an attacking
APC in an effort to disable it...
