Unfortunately this topic has been brought forward many times and has merit. The issue always being that a BOLO being a planetary siege unit would decimate an Ogre of any size which is a continental siege unit; unless you dial it back to say a Mark XV or XX.

The Slammers really never got into AI vehicles as I remember(been a while since I read them). The stories were more about the men with the vehicles being the icing on the cake.

The Old GUY chronicles fall in the same vein but are very enjoyable.

I just picked up the Slammers board game so maybe I can get into it soon.
