MS Wars Update, 22th of February, Dragons are appearing

Sorry for the late update, been busy doing other thing sorry. While working on a RPG version of MS Wars, I have come up with a new race, the Dragonite and started thinking of Elf and Dwarf vehicles. On the RPG side I have designed the races and most of the classes, still get at least one class to do.  I have done three standard mechs so far.  With the mean game I have added a couple of new character cards to the database but over the next month I should be adding a ton of new units too, must of which do not have names yet. I have decided that whenever I am doing Unit posts now, I will be doing two units instead of just one. Here is the plan of up and coming posts until the next update:

24th of February:  Rules – Unit Abilities part 2
1st of March: Units – Small Construction Mech and Dwarf Infantry

11th of March: Rules – Pilot Skills part 3
16th of March: Units – Jaeger Small ABRACU and yet unnamed command Jeep
21st of March: Units – Yet unnamed Dwarf small mech and yet unnamed light human tank

Units: Elf Infantry

INFANTRY TECH LEVEL 2
Currently Elf is just a place holder name until I come up with a better name for the race. Elf Infantry is the second most common type of Infantry along with Dwarf Infantry. Like most standard infantry, they are four man squads with the pilot as the squad leader. They are the only battle readily infantry chose at Infantry tech level one. So forgot to delete that line.
