Oops, redact my posts to OO on DSTest stuff... <sigh>

Wrong list indeed. Visual dyslexia, type something, read it again to make
sure, see what you wanted to type, not what you actually typed, send. Find out
you f&*73) up. Sigh.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions on
ADS/THADS both from Glenn and OO. That was
meant for here.

The THADS was inspired by the idea of Patriots
or the like engaging incoming dropships off-
board before they arrived - a sort of "pre-
game threat" and perhaps an SG2 like ADE concept would cover things pretty
well for that.

For on board fire, I'm thinking of things like what happened in the scenario I
just ran tonight (Operation Haymaker, an assault to capture the Governor of
Compville by ScanFed mercs at the
beginning of the NAC-sponsored coup d'etat).
I've got ADS vehicles scattered around the compound, running on passive
sensors. Enemy VTOLs come in hot and hard loaded with PA and with additional
PA underslung on droplines (more capacity). The ADS wants to cut loose, but if
you follow book rules for landings, they just happen all at once. But if you
have your ADS crewed (not even necessarily active) you can undoubtedly bring
it active at the flip of a button esp once you have visual... and then the
enemy are in trouble. (One ADS had LoS in my scenario tonight and it blew away
one of the dangling PA stands.... missed the lander, hit the trailing PA....).
When I think about some other scenarios, I'm planning to piece them together
into an overall series of games covering the
NFR/NAC/ScanFed revolution on Compville vs.
the FSE and the Legion Etrange Colonial. I'll probably even throw in a small
FT scenario.

Tomb.
