Even as an insurance policy it does not make sense.  Penix has the kind of experience he should be starting now.  Not when Cousins gets hurt or in two to four years.  If Cousins were cheaper or Penix younger/less experienced it'd make sense.

But I digress.

Seattle's draft.

It was reasonably solid.  I don't see anything to be disappointed over but I'm not super excited by anyone either.

Is there something different about the WoB Heavy APC?

7/11 XL engine, Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor and twin Small VSPs, which were advanced at the time and very odd to see in a "basic" TRO.

There's also the Prowler with its 6 ton infantry bay, but I always consider that one more of a objective than a combat unit :)

  Well the NFL Draft 2024 is over DETROIT BLEW OUT OF THE WATER!!!!! They put on great show and from what I hear they broke a lot of records. I will say this it was huge DRAFT party down in Motown that for sure. I'am happy what the Lions did. I see everyone is real surprise that the Falcons pick QB . I can see why like I text my coworker at the draft downtown yesterday. The Lions did same thing last year it insurance just in case your QB go down. Now the Draft is over let see what crazy crap go on now.

The only way that trade/draft combo makes any sense is if there is some provision in Cousin's contract that we don't know about where he takes a massive pay cut if he doesn't play the full two years.  But I feel like that is something that would have gotten leaked to the media by now.

I can request a survey from BackerKit and it gives me the option to pay.  Anyone happen to know if I pay, would that get me into the Kickstarter and guarantee me the items?

On Friday it was confirmed by a Backerkit rep, on the Catalyst discord, that they will cancel any new orders placed from that point forward.

Ground Combat / Re: Help/Recommendations Requested - Main Battle Tank (50T or less)

Even the MBTs of our real era are the snipers as well. As the line tank being a sniper is not so bad at all.
