Are we talking about an NTNU blurb in TRO 3150?

Seems that way. Gives 3 different variants, a 3132 variant, a 3137 variant and a Stealth upgrade.

So I couldn't find them because there aren't any. That explains it. 
I remembered wanting to post here and today just took a quick glance at Sarna to remember.
Said one had the Schildkröte's weapons, and now I'm wondering if those were really that heavy.
Ah well, if there's nothing to be seen, so be it. Interesting Idea, though.

I remember that chanman's suggestion(I think it was him) was truly evil, especially for the heavy transport variant. You fly at the target and when you get close, you land, offload the troops...and stay landed. Bingo, your infantry have a self-deploying assault gun and bunker. >:D

EXCEPT that the main gun is not on a turret.....so anything NOT in the forward facing is free to shoot at you with minimal repose.  If it had a turret, it'd be a sound plan though.

It's still going to work pretty well against something big and slow though. Or something with a turret locked in one direction.

Battletech transport rules take a very feline approach to moving troops in a combat zone: If they fits, they ships.

You bought the box set and are ready to expand your BT experience. Now what? (Thanks Sartis!)

If you brought infantry, you don't have any excuse for uncovered flanks. Also, you can still turn when on the ground. This end toward enemy, and all that. It's not an auto-win strategy, you still have to do some work.

When the wall the enemy is using for cover turns out to be a giant Claymore mine ...

"That's Lieutenant Faceplant to you, Corporal!"

Things that I have learnt through clicking too fast on 'Move Done' on MegaMek: Double-check the CF of the building before jumping onto it, check artillery arrival times before standing in the neighbouring hex, and don't run across your own minefield.

"Hmm, I wonder if I can turn this into a MM map."
