Hi
I searched in this and the TechManual rules forums but didnt find this one answered.
Per Tac Ops p. 288 - says a Lance weighs 1 ton and occupies 1 critical slot for every 20 tons of ‘Mech weight (rounded up to the nearest half ton).
If I read it right, for a 45 ton mech - 45 ÷ 20 = 2.25 which would round up to 2.5 tons. I notice in the 3055 Upgrade, the Volkh VKH-1's lances weigh 3 tons each. I wasnt sure if the TRO has a typo and I didnt see this in the TAC Ops errata, unless I overlooked it. I tried to look at TRO entries for other mechs carrying them but not many "base" model mechs carry them .
I would appreciate a clarification on the weight determination and rounding process for melee lances.
Thanks
