Frank,

To be honest, I have actually never red the rules, just enjoyed the photos
and stories!
I am very happy that my tank can get a much desired designation. The problem
is that I started the whole thing to make it look like a Leopard 2 tank but
it turns out it has nothing in common with it, except the number of
tracks...
The design is altered that much in the mean time that I decided to turn it
into some sort of reconnaissance vehicle that is equipped with a rocket
launcher (ie. my stomp rocket system). The hull as it is now is quite heavy
and putting on more weight (like a complete turret) would result in worse
driving capabilities and I intended the whole thing for driving and not for
shooting.
So: I will think of a catchy name for the thing and will give you all the
data needed. Only tell me what 'rating' means?

Regards,

Marc
