That's where we misunderstood each other. I thought you meant space
_travel_... (But now I remember that would be the Deep Space sourcebook,
which I also don't own.)

Browsing through the book, I'm not 100% sure of that. Some of the military
vehicles are OK, but some are fairly ridiculous (a small hovercraft with a
25 mm cannon?) and others fairly ludicrous (M-20 superheavy tank? Yeah,
right...). As for the powered armors, we've had a big thread about how
feasible they are in SR.

Still, all that need not stop anyone from converting this book anyway :)

When/if I get round to it, I'll let you know. If I don't forget ;)
