~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~GEV List Thingy, Apr 23rd~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: chrisc@debra.dgbt.doc.ca (Chris Camfield) To: hcobb@fly2.berkeley.edu (Henry J. Cobb) Subject: Re: GEV List Thingy, April 22nd. (Is this really the address this is supposed to be sent to? Are you running this list by HAND??) Anyhow... GEV-PC: is there something wrong with making it worth 2/3 AU? The formula gives a 4VP value... :) (BTW are there new versions of the formula? And what's this about specialist infantry? I can't exactly call the BBS in Texas from here in Canada.... muchos $ to call...) Would anyone be interested in seeing some (somewhat unwieldy) rules for helicopters in GEV that I cooked up? They're a bit better than the flying OGREs in the Ogre Book :) But I've never really been able to playtest them much. (As I remember scribbling, if you can put BPC on a GEV, why not on a heli? :) Is there any way to get access to all that lovely stuff on the BBS >from Internet?

The Cobb unit is cooking up an Ogre Kill with GEV-PCs, but note that that old formula does not include the value of giving Infs a lift. I've already argued with Stevie about the value of mounting heavy weapons teams on GEV-PCs for a (one-time) 9/4 M3/2 punch (for a cost of 15 points). I've been thinking of some sort of nuclear rocket powered jet transport to drop infantry just out of laser range. -HJC] Henry J.
