Combat Walker




****************************

The logical goal of all this walking machine research
was something like this proposed Combat Walker
of 1962 that consisted of a caravan of motorized
mechanical pack mules led by a manned combat unit.

One must admit it has a certain charm; the tiny cockpit,
the tiny periscope, the tiny cannon, the tiny engine.

The tiny armor was not so good.

In a really silly way this "COULD" make sense in a VSF setting. with
the separate compartment for the steam engine.

Sort of like the steam powered
land trains I've seen pics of.

This has some potential,
needs to be a bit bigger
