Squad Support Weapon Mounts and squad size
« on: 23 June 2024, 19:30:09 »
I have a few questions prompted by this recent ruling: https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=50389.msg2016225#msg2016225.

1. Is there a formula that can be used to derive the weight reduction of a Squad Support Weapon Mount for other squad sizes? The most obvious example, as specifically asked in the original question, is a squad of six like with a Blakist Level I, but other sizes are possible, ranging from one (in XTRO:MW) to seven (in XTRO:RF).

2. This would logically mean that reorganizing battle armor into smaller squads (page 200, CO, fourth printing) could cause a design to become illegal by going overweight. In that scenario, would it be permissible for the squad support weapon to be "dropped" and treated as non-functional, or would such reorganization simply be illegal?
