Inspired the most excellent mini painted by Ogre in this
thread I've designed the following hovertank. It features twinned MML-7s with three tons of ammo (2 of LRM, 1 of SRM) mounted forward and two turrets. The forward turret has twin Light machine guns with a full ton of ammo. The rear turret feature twin ER Medium Laser mainly to discourage pursuers, but can work in support of infantry if needed.
