I have to wonder, does the new pounder from DS come with a unit card?

Still, I may pick one up.

Just proxy, although I will note in my new Dust Tactics comic book from Twistory that supposedly has all the comics, that many of the heroes are hand to hand and bot pilot specialists.

Ugh, going OT, I like the comics and all, but seriously, does Sig. Parente have a clue about continuity? At first I thought it was something like read backwards, upside down and sideways except......the dates for the storylines are normal.

Way too many "oopsies" in there. The best parts? How the Mickey got its name. A look at the scale of the KV-47 (although the first appearance was logically the KV-45, DOH!), that is going to be one seriously nasty vehicle, but it looks like it might be a "mini-walker" deployable in squads, either pairs or triplets. Which actually might mean they will be the first SSU IA3 units. Or they will get retconned into the walker slot (a better I think).

Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much about the comics as far at fluff goes. Action + T&A with little to no continuity.

How did the Mickey get its name?

It was named for a certain mouse who went on a destructive rampage after finding out his wife was freaking goofey.

Well, that's what I heard...

Rosie's predecessor (as in big boob girl maintaining the equipment who wears her coveralls tied around her waist and no bra) goes along with a "Kelly's Heroes" type operation and gets killed by an early German walker of some sort. Between a US tank and some SSU KV-45s (although they are called KV-47s) they wack the big walker. The Americans grab the legs, drag them back to the motorpool and the tank crew plus whoever else was there builds the first US walker: the Mickey.

My guess, Mickey was the Command Squad version of Rosie while most of the others going with the US group were hero-types.

Even though it was a bit incoherent, the first storyline could be followed. The second one was just a bunch of artwork kind of stuck together with no real storyline except violence and some sex.
