Enclosed is one I forgot to upload with the last batch, along with a corrected
version of the "Hoplite".  Are there any requests?  I'd entertain the
possibility of doing a few vehicles on special order.

     Good Gaming,

Hoplite Grav Tank TL15

     The Hoplite emphasizes protection and small size in favor of endurance.
The main armament is unusual--2 fusion-Z guns are carried coaxially in the
turret, for an increase in the total rate of fire.  The pulse lasers are
mounted in sponsons on either side of the hull, and are intended for short
range antipersonnel use.

Peltast Infantry Carrier TL15

     The Peltast was designed as a companion vehicle to the Hoplite grav
tank, and emphasizes protection over duration.  The roomy seats allow for
rapid exit of battledress infantry.
