Subject: Tanks and Tripods
First, I have been associated with Tanks and Tankers for over 20 years. On a modern MBT you need 4 crew. Part is to share the load, part is to learn the trade, and part is to be able to continue the fight. One crew member is 25% casualties on a 4 man crew. For a 3 man crew its 33%. A 4 man tank can function(degraded) with only 2 crew. A 3 man tank is degraded by one casualty. Some time these are non-combat losses (field duties, sick call, etc.). Second, Martians. Try size 4 or 5 walkers. HEL or DFFG and an CBR attack (black cloud). Don't worry about the design system, go for playability. I'll post the URL for a pic of some tripods I made from "Johnny Lighting" LIS Jupiter2s.
