RE: [GZG]Heavyweaponsdisplayedonfigures [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

["Robertson, Brendan" <Brendan.Robertson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I use the Harlequin Air Defence Team (Eureka Minitures) for my OU forces
regularly (see website below).

The bazooka would be equivalent of a LAW under the rules.  Just allocate
your LAWs as either anti-tank or anti-aircraft only and enforce the
difference.

Heavy Weapons generally use Fire Control/Guidance instead of Firepower under
the usual rules, so they can often be less effective against infantry.  But
the extended range makes up for it nicely.

Examples of things I use:
Harlequin: 2-shot GMS/L, Guidance: d10 (anti-air)/d6 (ground), I:d12x2*
3-man crew (+1 space for the weapon); each man carries 2 missiles + their
portion of the weapon.  Re-org to reload. 

Funnelweb : Power Armour 4-shot DFFG/1; FC: d4 (none), I: d12x2*
 - Great tankbuster up close, but useless for anti-personnel work.  The rest
of the squad carries reloads (re-org action).
