Perun Wars Episode VI: Return of the Aussie

One nugget of absolute truth in here: The battlevalue of tanks and infantry compared to Mechs is much higher. Especially in early (pre-Clan) engagements you can get so much more bang for your buck with tanks. AK/20? No problem, you can field it on a 40t hovercraft. Happy hunting in double-blind games. Thank you for remembering this glorious part of my childhood.

Was once the human half of a scout dog team walking point. It had an excellent sensor package, while I transported food, water, and a gun. And translated from this self ambulatory sensor to the following grunts loaded with things that go bang. This however linked to an officer. Not all of which were competent. Oh! Had to deal with these issues in real time situations. Was delighted to exit relatively undamaged. An interesting time. Remember it well. Still keep close company with a Mark 1 dog!

A drone whose operator can choose between "return home" and "strike best target visible from current position" fallback modes in case of radio interference isn't particularly scary. A drone with a 6k nm range and the authority to attack any enemy target it encounters across the entire battlefield is terrifying. And that suggests that the real fear isn't automation as such, but rather the absence of sufficient hard guardrails to limit the danger of a rogue AI.
