Dramatic SFB: Questions regarding rules and Interface

[Gregory Flusche]

i talked to Matt the other night. I asked about the Tug as The Paravians
only have one tug and it is a monster with 4 QWTs. It has the same fire
power as a HC. Then can carry two pods under the wings. If i bought one it
could have two battle pods and have 8QWTs! (pods plus the ones on the tug)
However in the scenario the Tug comes with only the GSA. No other pods. If
you had sent a battle pod then yes you could :).

Hey Matt can one buy a pod with commanders options for the tug? damn what a
thought, :)

In most cases the GSA does not add movement cost to the tug..
