Okay, and now that you've gotten movement figured out, tell me how to
do combat between a vehicle and a dragon :)

My point is that it's way to convoluted for me. That's why I came up
with a simple integrated movement system that let's you use the
existing combat rules. If you like the rule's in R2, I got no
problem with that :) I'm trying to satisfy my needs and I'm looking
for feedback (let me know if it doesn't work... or if it does :)
Trying to convince me to use R2's rules won't work ;p
