Variant Infantry Article?

[Pilgrim]

Folks,
I swear someone linked to an article hosted here at SJGames that had stats for heavy infantry, rangers, etc., but I can't find the thing.

Is it still out there? Or am I just having brain farts?

I did up an article the had stats for Rangers, Mortar Teams, and Forward Observer units (the FOs used a modified version of Henry Cobb's forward observation rules). I also posted some stuff on how I thought Infantry should in GEV. It also contained my thoughts on Engineers (one of the best units for the price), Militia (way to cheap in the Minis version), and Marines (to expensive, they need their cost shaved). I'll see if I can dig them up.

And here it is. Amazing what you can do when you're not dog tired.

BTW, after reading that, I'd bump up the price of the rangers - maybe flat triple it.

As to the FO units and mortar - I'm not sure they're worth double the infantry cost (same problem as the Marines). Maybe 3 units of infantry for 2 of marines/FO/mortar units?

Well, all of this stuff is up for debate, so their point value could change. Plus, none of these units are canon, so if you, or anyone else for that matter, wants to play around with them, feel free. I'd also posted some designs for a Heavy Missile Tank and Super Heavy Missile Tank, and would love to hear how they worked out for someone other than me.
