LVT-4 Hover Tank Origin Question
« on: 01 June 2013, 19:20:44 »
Hello

I apologize if its little annoying...I have multi-part question:
  • I was wondering, is the LVT-4 Hover Tank the same vehicle that was known as the HVT in Grey Death Legion Scenario Book, pg 15? 
  • Hover Tank that appeared in Record Sheets:  Volume 5, is also same vehicle as well?

The LVT-4's origins was in fact with the Hovertank in the old Record Sheets vol. 5. Just with some updating to keep in line with the current ruleset.

Whether that was inspired by the GDL HVT, I have no idea (no one involved with the development of the old RS booklets is still around, AFAIK),

Thanks for answering my question, Bones!

Last minute question.  Historical Turning Points: Glengarry.  Which did feature a vehicle that resembles the LTV-4, called PPC Heavy Weapons Carrier.  Is that vehicle same as the LTV-4 or related to it? 

Sincerely,

Jason S. would have to answer that, though given the hover you're talking about is a 20 tonner, I doubt it.
