Design Notes -This was in my unfinished folder, dated Aug 26, 2007.  It has the hallmarks of my earliest designs: 2 different weapon systems, check; fire ext. but no CA, check; no WG, no new doodads, check.  There's a GSS, so that's new.  I don't see a reason to tweak this further; not sure why I even created it in the first place.

Name Notes -One of my favorite names for a location, the "proving ground" - one of those terms which has 2 words which are innocuous apart, but together it rings ominous.
