While Henry is correct, of course, that GEVs tend to wipe up archaic units, the most likely force for this is a GEV-based one, as the Combine seems to depend more on GEVs than, say, Paneurope, and GEVs are what they'd use for amphibious landings anyway. Has anyone ever come up with rules for GEV LSTs, able to land something other than infantry? Since aircraft are basically out of the question, how else would you land conventional units on shore for an amphibious assault? GEV-LST: Attack 0 Defence 2 Move 2 (4") / 1 (2") -- or possibly 3/2? 2/2? Movement Mode: GEV Size: 3 Points: 6? Can carry any one armor unit of size 1 or 2. Perhaps you could also have a heavier unit, capable of carrying size 3 units... Any thoughts? Fish. ----- [I seem to have lost my notes for amphib assault. One of the ideas I was looking at was a naval ship to carry GEVs around the oceans. (Even navalized GEVs couldn't run their fans all the way to Hawaii, t'cha?) You'd protect these units with Laser Cruisers against attacks by Missile Subs. -HJC] Henry J.
