Below are the latest in the series of vehicle designs I have been working on.
For anyone who is interested, each of these is a variation on the first, and
even by hand (and calulator) the recalculations only took 15-20 minutes apiece,
including writing out the whole thing to ensure that I would be able to figure
out what I did later. In the process I discovered another error in the rules,
which I am putting in a different message.

Tiger_Hybrid_Infantry_Fighting_Vehicle_TL10
The Tiger is designed to perform the functions of both an infantry
carrier and a light/medium tank under a variety of combat conditions. It is
particularly popular among mercenary units because of the comparatively low
cost. Maintenance compatability with a range of support vehicles is also a
popular feature. The entire crew including the eight man infantry squad has
been provided with roomy seats to facilitate egress under combat conditions.
One of the machine guns is manned by the infantry crew, and the second is
manned by the vehicle commander.

The Leopard is a member of the Tiger family of infantry fighting
vehicles, and is designed to serve as a command infantry carrier and a medium
tank/point defense unit under a variety of combat conditions. The Tiger

comparatively low cost. Maintenance compatability with the range of Tiger
vehicles is also a popular feature. The entire crew including the six man
infantry squad has been provided with roomy seats to facilitate egress under

Cougar Fire Support Vehicle TL10
The Cougar is a member of the Tiger family of infantry fighting
vehicles, and is the only major variation designed with no provision for
carrying infantry. The vehicle is designed to provide indirect fire support
in a variety of combat conditions. Because large scale use of grav vehicles
generally leads to an amorphous combat situation with no secure rear areas
for siting of artillery, the Cougar carries the same weight of armor as the
remainder of the vehicles in the family. The turret has been enlarged from 5%
to 10% of the base vehicle size to accomodate the large mass driver gun. The
Tiger family is particularly popular among mercenary units because of the
comparatively low cost. Maintenance compatability with the range of Tiger
vehicles is also a popular feature. The machine gun is manned by the vehicle
commander.
