If you are using Total Warfare rules then vehicles should already shine. If you are playing with BMR rules, you need Maxtech to show why vehicles are worth it. So I guess, perhaps, if the stories and fluff were a bit more energetic in making the grunts more interesting, there might be a drive to make them less miserable and less focused on Giant Stompy Robots with invincible demi-gods piloting them. The game and the fluff revolves around the big guys, the movements of the power players, and the actions of the heroic white knight or tragic hero (At least those were what the books were like when I stopped reading them in the late 90's). I know, not the kind of reading anyone expects to honestly read when they think BT fiction. stuck in the middle of the big boys games and just wanting to get to the other side of the fighting. Perhaps a story of the guys who aren't the big names, who don't have the rank of 'Star Colonel' or 'Captain-General' or 'Tai-Sa'. I think a few of the Dark Age books were like that but I don't recall anymore thanks to time and having lost interest of those books after awhile. Yeah, won't have the glory of being the brave champion in the middle of the thick of it. I always found the idea of a tight nit team having to do their best at their jobs, being almost a family to each other to be great focus of a story. That might help improve the attitude towards the grunts on the ground or the four guys having to actually work as a team to get their 60 ton beast to roll across the field instead being a lone knight. A real major event with guys not hiding inside a giant beast that is neigh unstoppable. Wouldn't mind a BT novel set entirely within the infantry or armored corps, to get a nice boots on the ground perspective that isn't just a short story.
