> Indexes are great things to have when memories fail. *snickering* Nah, they only help if you remember what to look for. It helps that it was by someone else. Usually there is some back-and-forth to get the numbers and rules interpretations cleared up, so they stick to the memory better than some of my own.

Just thinking aloud. Oh, and > thanks for the correction on the spelling. :) There is a trend towards fewer, larger rockets with better range and an option to fire guided missiles in additon to rockets. The current western/NATO model is the tracked MLRS, with the wheeled HIMARS firing half a load. The Russians have relatively recent ex-Soviet models like the BM-30. More, smaller rockets are still used as well, e.g. by Brazil, but Germany just got rid of the LARS in favor of the MLRS. That could be a holdover of our cold-war preoccupation with the Fulda Gap. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MLRS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Mobility_Artillery_Rocket_System http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BM-30_Smerch http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astros_II_MLRS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_Artillery_Rocket_System _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
