Battle Armor Armored Gloves and being encumbered
« on: 03 June 2024, 11:30:52 »
I had a question about Battle Armor with armored gloves.

Page 171 of the techmanual says, "Battle armor equipped with one or more armored glove manipulators may use one additional non-Melee conventional infantry weapon with crew requirements of less than 2."

As such, these units may be equipped with Support weapons such as grenade launchers, gauss rifles, and plasma cannons with a crew requirement of 1E.

My question is that elsewhere, it mentions that conventional platoons are slowed by these weapons, but I can't find anything that says that Battle armor is likewise encumbered.

Are they slowed down at all by using 1E weapons?

For example: Would a Gray Death Scout Armor squad be able to hand carry 1E weapons like Grenade Launchers (Heavy) and maintain their Jump of 4?
Whomever said violence isn't a solution obviously wasn't using enough.
