The Finns got their aerosans like they got much of thier military equipment, they beat on Ivan till he gave it up.

The movement mode was something I had considered, I felt for most poeple using them, a set of "house rules" would probably be easier than building a new movement mode.
We've got unit types here in SP that have seen less combat than aerosans, and they bring an mobility elemenent to the Winter War that I currently find somewhat lacking

Anyhow, anyone have an "Icons for Dummies" tutorial???

If you MobHack one and make it Class 167 'Snow Vehicle', that should sort out the movement problem. I've done one, but haven't yet had time to playtest it.

Which did you do RF-8,NKL-16 or NKL-26?

Send it over, I'd be glad to give it a spin

I've got all the info and spec's needed for the three main aerosans, but my drawing abilities SUCK.

If somebody could put together the icons, I could mobhack up the specs fairly quickly.

For making icons, see my notes at Game Squad:
Making Icons - Draft Notes

NKL-26. Class 167, Availability 3/42 - 12/49. Crew 4, Size 3 (should maybe be 2?), Carry 8, Speed 15, Radio 11, Survivability 2, ROF 9. 1 x Weapon 172, 120 HE rds. Armour 1 all round except top. Everything else = 0. Photo (of an NKL-16) attached and no, I haven't made an icon - my abilities in that direction are probably worse than yours! Feel free to disagree with any of the stats - it's a long time since I did this, & I was relying on Steven Zaloga's book on Russian armour. There's probably a load on the Net by now.

Do you have a top view and or physical dimensions? I'll see what I can do.
