Anyone else?

Know one wants anything? C'mon, you've gotta be kidding me. :wink:

King Llewellyn has authorised the purchase of thirty units.

$450million will be transfered on confirmation.

(Is there a more specific designation than AAAV? I mean, there's several different AAAVs, yes? Perhaps I missed it (just so I can remember what to look for if I deploy them months from now and want to remember what they can do :) ))


(Edit because a typo almost cost me $300 million :) )

I want to make modifications to the ones I get but The Armed Republic of DePaul will take 10 at150 million bucks (we'll use them for testing, we have our own AAAV's, hence the small order)
