How about those 'grab the starport' scenarios where you want a little
more 'direct' support and/or mobility for those drop troops? Yes, you
can put small vehicles in Interface Landers but how about drop-vehicles
to support your 'paras'?
Well here's a few of the more common (in my febrile vision/dementia):
All are size 1 (Very Small)
First the 'Low Tech' vehicles (low tech defined as predominately CFE
powered (some HMT, very rare FPG in size 3 or bigger) and preferring HVC
over SLAM over HKP over DFFG over HEL/MDC) -
All are Armor 1 (Ablative optional, Reactive less common alternate))
Light Attack:
HiMobilityWheeled (HMW)
Turret with 2xRFAC/1 OR Fixed RFAC/2
'free' APSW
APC (light CFV for recon?)
Fast Tracked or HMW
Carries one FT
Free and a second APSW
ATM/TD
Fast Tracked
GMS/H
free and second APSW
(Less common) -
FDS vehicle
Fast GEV
GMS/L
3 point FDS commo/range finder package (electro-optical 'periscope' for
looking over terrain and/or LEL RF and/or ...)
LAD
Fast Tracked
LAD (duh)
enhanced PDS
Free APSW
Rare -
Recon
Fast GEV or Fast Tracked
Turret RFAC/1
(based on FDS - substitute enhanced recon package and drop special FDS
commo gear) (IR searchlight and/or ...)
Mid Tech
Mid tech defined as predominately HMT powered (some CFE, some FPG) and
preferring HKP over SLAM over DFFG over HEL/MDC over HVC) -
pretty much the same but variations
Light Attack
replace 2xRFAC/1 with 2xDFFG/1
Recon
Change RFAC/1 to DFFG/1
High Tech
High tech defined as predominately FPG powered (some HMT, rare CFE) and
preferring MDC over HEL over HKP over SLAM over DFFG over HVC) -
Light Attack
Change Turret weapons to 2xRFAC/1
Recon and FDS
Change main weapons to HEL/1
Size 2 (small) vehicles to follow, it gets a bit more interesting for
the
Interface Landing troops vehicular support...)
Gracias,
Glenn
