51 would let it split the difference between Mk.IV and Mk.V when it comes to "treads per MP"...17, compared to the Mk.IV's 14 and the Mk.V's 20.

Re: Presenting the Israeli Golem (unofficial)
When it comes to its internal bays, I say go with 2 L-GEVs or 3 squads of INF. Those are both 1 AU-equivalent. I'd also say that they're well-protected enough to not appear as destructible targets on the record sheet; if they stay inside they're useless, and if they emerge to fight then they can be destroyed as usual.
48 tread units sounds right to me - 16 per MP, or six rows of 8 boxes on a card. 51 might be more "accurate," but it's a weird number that would require uneven rows of boxes. |

Re: Presenting the Israeli Golem (unofficial)
I found one thread here on SJG that had this option as a tester:
2 Drone Bays (internal, not targetable) 1 Drone Hatch (D4) (may release one drone per turn only) 2 Missile Drones -- 4 VP each 6/5 1-shot + 1/0 point defense gun D2, M2 (M3 after fired missile) May reload in Ogre Drone Bay from the 9 internal missile supply That would need rules for how to "dock" the empty Drones, reload the Missile Drone (added complexity and record keeping), as well as the fact that the Missile Drones seem to make it way more powerful. Regarding tread counts, I'm a big fan of nice symmetrical boxes too. |

Re: Presenting the Israeli Golem (unofficial)
I don't like the missile drone. As you should all know by now, I'm a fan of KISS*, and using standard units means less Stuff to remember.
* Not the band. |

Re: Presenting the Israeli Golem (unofficial)
There are Assault Pack details from the Kickstarter for the Golem, but I don't know if I'm allowed to share them here (since they were in a KS update).
I'll let Drew weigh in on that.

Re: Presenting the Israeli Golem (unofficial)
That's actually in line with what Israel does with foreign military equipment today. They tend to taylor things for urban and mountain combat, with much shorter supply lines. Something tough (lots of tread boxes), a little slower (M3), expected to be in supply (missiles), and carrying urban specialists (INF bay) all fit that.
