Re: My LAST steering rebuild [TANKS]

["Stacy Hilton" <stacyj-at-defnet.com>]

I find this line of dialogue VERY interesting as I am working on the only 
vehicle (that I am aware of) to span the wheeled/tracked barrier.  I am 
still anxious to see if there is any advantage to running "without tracks". 
I also wonder about designation.  I have posed this question once before, 
Will my BT-7 be a Tank or an Armored Car?  Will it have a dual designation? 
Would points awarded in one designation apply to the other?  HMMMMMMM!
