Background - Frequently utilized by the CCAF Home Guard and in the past Blakist Shadow Divisions to put down insurrections the Ontos or 'Monster' is a highly destructive anti-infantry/rioter platform built on a reinforced version of the tracked APC. Its 6 Medium Recoilless Rifles are capable of wiping out up to 72 individuals in a single volley or seriously damaging light or medium mechs. These are so powerful that they blow out windows and ears many hundreds of meters away due to the back-blast. It is not a subtle platform and the large quantity of dust and debris generated has given it the nicknamed of 'Terrornado.'

Terrornado fits perfectly! ;D

"72 individuals"?

Explain, please!

[Daryk]

BA Recoilless Rifles get Anti-Infantry damage... ;)

So, this is good, right?  I'm sorry, can you explain more?

So, this is good, right?  I'm sorry, can you explain more?

Each hit of a MRR kills/disables 2d6 Infantry with burst damage. Thus you could theoretically wipe out almost 3 platoons of infantry presuming you hit with all 6, and do that for 10 rounds.

Ah, heck.  I need to know more.  MORE  reading.  Say, can I steal this for a project?
