Subject: Gladatorial Mech "Zhan Feng" (War Wind)

Here is Team Jet-Stream's arch-nemesis the "Zhan Feng" (War Wind).  I
used a on-line English - Chinese dictonary, so I'm not to sure if that
is grammericaly correct.  If anyone knows the correct name please feel
free to correct it.

"Zhan Feng"
"Welter-Weight" Congressional Galdiator Mech
Weight: 525 Tons

While a camel may be "a horse designed by a committee", the "Zhan Feng"
is a mech designed under similar circumstances.  A product of multiple
Kung Mytoa design committees, the "Zahn Feng" attempts to excell at
every aspect of Gladatorial warfare, but only succedes in the area of
speed.  With a top speed of 120 mph, the "Zhan Feng" is the fastest
non-flier on the "Welter-Weight" circuit.  The "Zhan Feng" supplements
its potent direct-fire weaponary with harpoint-carried missiles for
"stand-off" capability.  The "Zhan Feng" usually carries only 18 tons of
extra missiles to avoid slowing itself down, but in a pinch can carry up
to 25 tons of missiles.

Notes:  Mega Particle cannons were rebuilt using David Pulver's
"Lighter" option.  The "Zhan Feng" typically carries 20 250 mm
MCOM's(Mission-Customizable Offensive Missile) and 13 400 mm ADAM's(Area
Denial Atomic Missile).  These missiles will be sent today as a seperate
post.

There you go.  This design is not that well optimized.  Some of that is
intentinonal, some not.  As always, I welcome comments, questions, and
suggestions.
