Yup. I converted the 'mechs for a sci-fi campaign I was
running using Shadowrun rules. And let me tell ya, Shadowrun has a
technology curve that makes 'mechs much meaner. >:)

Actually, it's not. Especially with the new magic vs. vehicles
rules in Rigger2/3rd Edition SR, it's hard for magic to affect military
vehicles because of their inordinately high Body rating. But then again,
they don't get a resistance roll anymore, so it sort of balances out.
Anyway, if you're interested in hearing how I did the conversion,
contact me via private e-mail.
