Hello,
Here's an idea I'd like to try out in a game. War Droids for
DSII
translated in SGII. A wardroid is a cybernetic vehicle of size one or
smaller. You build them just like a size one vehicle, using the
apropriate
transportation method (walker, Anti-grav, etc.). Generally they are
attached to squads as support weapons. They can be individually
targeted
just like a vehicle. WarDroids of capacity 1 or 2 also have the
advantage
of their small size, attackers trying to target them count as if they
are
firing at a target one range factor further away. You could effectively
build a WarDroid of capicity one that carried only an APSW to support
infantry units... In my case I have some Capacity two wardroids with
stinger like missile launchers that are LAD units.
Please tell me what you think.
