Also what are some custom variants of the mech that you have ran in this era, or feel would have been ran (in universe).
In our 3025 games that allowed customs I ran 2 Shadow Hawk variants .
Both had the same armor as the 2H but lost all of the extra heat sinks .
#1. 2 medium lasers , AC/10 with 20 rounds , and add 2 more jump jets
to make it 5/8/5 .
#2 . 1 medium laser and an AC/20 with 10 rounds .
#1 . Was an all around excellent trooper mech . Having a full 20 rounds for the
A/C 10 lets you shoot all the time . The AC/10 combined with it's mobility made
it a serious backstab threat for the heavies of the era .
#2. A no frills way to get an AC/20 on the board that might actually
survive to get to the enemy . Other AC/20 mechs just weren't as fast .
Lacks the overall utility of version #1 but adds a shock and awe element .
The #1 variant was a fun way to play a Shadow Hawk without being overly
munchy about it . Wish variant #1 was the canon Davion variant as
it can pair up with the Rifleman RFL-3C and share ammo .
As is the actual Davion variant-just doesn't make any sense . :o
