No Gausszilla, though.<br/><br/>It's also cheaper in BV than 2 Archers, fwiw.<br/><br/>But then, I also designed a Hollander variant that's faster, better-armored, and with more ammo, at a little over twice the cost of a single Hollander. Never put me in charge of a financial budget...<br/><br/><br/><br/>In other news, I'm glad I took the advice not to skip the Caballeros book. I love this bunch already, Cassie is just a bonus. Cannot wait until the chronology lets me at the next one in the trilogy.<br/>The Northwind Highlanders book was kinda boring, but mainly because I was expecting an entire planet of Davis McCalls, and the ending was too predictable.<br/>I Am Jade Falcon was just awful, I really understand why Thurston's a bad writer now.
