Shame! you would have thought that the events 58 years ago would have produced
a bit more of a memorial... how fast we forget.

> Anyway, to focus on the GZG points:

Don't know, but I bought some (Gladiator Minatures, real nice!), I always
assume that they are built to escape into orbit again, and as such have as
little excess weight as possible, more a shock tactic rather than a fighting
platform, and as such should want to get the hell out of there. This is more
for the small assault lander rather than the space-ship-in-its-own-right

variety, which would probably move slower and probably take a while to take
off, thus having to provide a firebase of some sort.

Hmm, I don't know, with insertions, particualrly from a great height, small
adjustments make such a big differences (just think of the angles) so any drop
(unless from low level) is bound to produce error.

However long it takes, it would be a while before an inserted unit is
organised ready to fight (IMHO).

Don't know, anyone out there ever done this for real?

probably using deviation like artillery in SGII then treat it as a static
(soft skinned?) vehicle to deploy from.

Good post, much to think about.
