	Well, heres the assault walker I talked about a couple of weeks ago.
It took me a while to figure out how to upload to Unix, so it's been a while.
Actually I'm kind of dissapointed with it.   In playtestting it didn't seem
that much more powerful than an imperial walker, and it really can't 
stand up to one.  i've also got some of my ancient Star Wars stuff I'm 
about to upload.  Well, tell me what you think!

	New Republic Assault Walker

		Even though throughout the rebellion and into the Republic the 
leaders of these groups have rather used speeders and Combat Assault Vehicles
to support ground troops.  At the Battle of Hoth Rebel airspeeders were 
pitted against walkers, and speeders came out on the losing end.  Everyone
could agree that walkers were powerful, just not that they were very usefull,
and the rebellion couldn't afford them anyway.  
	Even so times change, and not the Empire is poor while the Republic
flourishes.  Republic command decided that they were in need of a heavy
combat vehicle (the closes thing they had were ancient heavy trackers!), so
a company was chosen to build a prototype walker for the Republic.  
		Physically the walker is much better armed and is faster than an
Imperial walker,  but it loses armor in doing this.  They are not designed 
to fight other walkers in combat, but to intimidate and devestate the enemy.
Also, the Republic chose not to create a scout class walker, leaving their
other vehicles for missions it normally runs.
