  16. Seems like way too much trouble to try to simulate something that could
  17. be done in the 1960's rather easily..the components wouldn't have to weigh
  18. anywhere near that much anyway. Btech isn't realistic, and trying to
  19. force it to be so by introducing wire guided missles on vehicles powered
  20. by mini-fusion reactors (which we probably won't be able to do for a LONG
  21. time yet) kind of seems silly. Sort of like mounting a catapult on an M-1.
