Weight and Carry Capacity

[DRG]

.........and that game guide entry about weights is on the list to be re-written because things like "Vehicles are given their weight in tons, generally" was only ever a rough rule of thumb that some have taken to have a significance equal to one of the 10 commandments. It's also bumps into one of the games bedrock / cornerstone issues that we cannot change without starting over and that is, as Andy noted that 255 is the size of a byte and that number is a byte AND a 1 indicates it can carry guns but not vehicles and a 2 indicates it can carry guns and vehicles so a barge, for instance could carry up to 99 points worth of men and guns ( 199 code ) but only 55 points worth of guns, vehicles and men ( 255 code ) and any unit given a weight over 55 can never be loaded into anything ( 99 is the common number we use for that because it's easily spotted but someone in the past, IDK who, decided to get "creative" with that and why you see 100 or 101 ) and there is NO WAY for "reality" and "game reality" to be in perfect harmony given these limitations and right now we are dealing with over 35,000 units in MBT.
