Jeff,
FF&S always had design sequences for remote mounts. Its pretty simple to replicate (at least to my satisfaction) the Stryker using FF&S and then use it in Striker-II wargames. Happy to whip one up using my spreadsheet if you'd like to see.

The only thing I'd want to seriously revisit would be the computer system rules, RPV rules, and the rules for robot "brains", since real technology has developed a bit differently than they assumed. I think you'd have a tough time doing something like the remote-controlled weapons mount on the Stryker using the stock FF&S rules, for example, though I haven't tried.

Whatever happened to it? I always assumed it was unfinished due to the great CCG extinction event. But maybe you took it to the Army? Did it turn out to be any good?
