Advantages of light 'Mechs

[Colt Ward]

Not with halving the amount of shots per ton and the huge penalty to the crit roll.  I only bother with AP ammo for the AC10 on a regular basis, and only take it for other guns if I expect to encounter Hardened Armor.

Besides, the Clans only have access to it for Protomech ACs, which are hardly sniper weapons.

 . . . with the Wolf Empire taking most of the Marik Stewart Commonwealth, and them building mechs like the Shockwave to take advantage of the special AC ammo . . . at least they would be a Clan with it.  Probably the Clan Protectorate too.  Just that sort of availability update has not caught up to the 'current' timeframe.

Would that ammo be compatible with the Improved AC-2 from S.O. (and original TRO 3050)?  I would think it would.  Getting a hold of that IAC-2 is another matter; I'm sure the Foxes found some old clan caches before the left for the IS

... wolf... empire? Is that some, dark age thing?

Yes.  The Wolves migrated from their invasion corridor into the FWL, took a bunch of worlds, got double-crossed by the stupidest Archon the Lyran Commonwealth has had since Alessandro, took a bunch of Lyran worlds in response.  Then they started pushing into the Republic of the Sphere (their original goal) from a different angle than the other Clans.

In the light mech versus Hover game, I recently used a Blade XR, with the twin Light PPC's and twin LAC2's with precision ammo (it has two tons for ammo, so begs for specialty ammo use) ... and I parked 15 hover tanks all over the table ...... on a side note, most of those were over water, as half the map was water..... and also the reason for so many hovers.....


I am now looking to paint it yellow, with blue checkerboard pattern, like a British police officer, and put the phrase "Lot Attendant" in red, down the leg......LOL
