Which Leapord, the standard only holds 4 mechs and 2 asfs, the vehicle one only supports 12 vees, the CV only holds 6 fighters, and the PA only holds 4 squads of infantry, 2 small craft, and 2 asfs.

So all options only hold half a company, or maybe a company of halflings?

And according to the star league book 12 vees is technically a company.  Though I would probably make it 16 vee company by putting four vetolss in the upper bay along with 16 platoons of infantry (3 tons for each inf bay)

When my boss asks if anyone wants to leave early, I'm not allowed to declare a Trial of Possession for the right.

When my boss refuses to allow me to declare a Trial of Possession, I'm not allowed to challenge him to a Trial of Refusal.

When my boss won't let me declare a Trial of Refusal, I'm not allowed to challenge him to a Trial of Grievance.

If the trial of grievance is refused, I am not allowed to declare a Trial of Position to take the place of the boss.

Nor am I allowed to take it up with the Khan or IlKhan.

I will stop calling the CEO and vice-president Khan and IlKhan.

I will face punishment detail if I am caught using a C3 network to run Halo LAN parties.

I will not use the HPG to send shock images to the heads of the Great Houses. Again.

BT SLN or HH SLN, while both are old and huge, one of the two might actually be effective.

No you point out that the mass driver is laid along the keel of the ship and not in a turret thus you must turn the ship to align the mass driver with the target.

But why not?!  It isn't like the target is going to see it coming and isn't arriving on a predictable course!

But I can see the point.

I can not attempt to ship a large laser by a package delivery company to avoid odd questions, even if I have disassembled it into components under 70 kg to be under the individual box weight limit.
