In a way, that is the standard post-apocalyptic explanation. You have access to pre-apocalypse bulldozers and turn them into AFVs after the apocalypse. Sure, the "pre-apocalypse bulldozers" are newly built, but they're undistinguishable from genuine relics. I have trouble to believe that a civilization could be able to build bulldozers from old blueprints, and then arm them, but that it couldn't come up with a tank design. They should be able to do better than this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NI_Tank Now, if you had pre-apocalypse warehouses with lots and lots of mothballed bulldozers, or maybe a fully robotic factory building bulldozers and nothing else, it makes sense to use them. Currently I'm leaning towards a no-gun post-apocalyptic design, or maybe a "realistic" real world design like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Heemeyer Regards, Onno _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
