Motorized, laser emitters and sensors, AND logic in a micro armour tank. How many lotteries are you planning on hitting??? Course, with the list's love of nanotech, you could wait for that, and run constant scale tanks on an old Avalon Hill Third Reich board. *heh heh* On the other hand, figs that would actually scope LOS and range is a bit tempting. If someone tries fudging, he best have an advanced degree in EE.

The only reason that this is alarming is that RC is an expensive hobby (or so I am led to believe).

*** What alarms me (vaguely) is that my wife wants two, because you need at least that many to play the battlesim. The only reason that this is alarming is that RC is an expensive hobby (or so I am led to believe). *** Mein Gott!! Keep her!!!! As an aside, I just got off the phone with the local Hobbytown, and they have the battle system in their computer at $130US. I couldn't find any MSRP's on any of the sites. Pile on the cost of a 1/16th tank kit, the R/C electronics, and then double it, and you is not kidding, bwana! *** It should be out in 1/350 for the Bismark or Yamato. Expect more kits if it sells well. *** One problem I had with combat ships gaming now done is pretty much 18th direct fire 'move as close as possible and broadside' shooting. Ok, even in the 18th there was some ranged shots, but you get the idea. This COULD be made complicated enough to simulate longer range, including plunging fire. However, I'm calling time on myself that this going overlong [OT]. Reply as you will, I'll hush up.

She was just looking at boyancy compensators at $400 US. One of these tanks loaded is less than that. Hobbies are expensive.
