Hi Bruce,

I noticed that about the loader too. I didn't use him on the Earthshaker platforms I just did because the shell looked bigger that the gun.

So how do your stands look? For the AC guy, just him in the center hole with sandbags? Do you put any other troops in the two holes behind him? For the Missile Team guys, do you just have them alone on the square base? And how do you make sandbags? I agree - I would love to see pictures of these stands.

SO don't bother with the FSP guys? And I was just curious if there were rules for those tanks. We have rules for everything else, I just thought it was strange that there were no rules for those.

Also, does anyone have contact info for Peter Ramos? Thanks.
