New BA questions
« on: 26 April 2018, 09:38:16 »
Since it has not been answered in the Rules forum, I will turn to consensus here . . .

Just to clarify, pg 229 lists 3 types of alternate missile munitions available to BA.  It also says the each individual trooper can individually mount a launcher/round of NARC . . .

But NARC LRM or SRM ammo is not listed under the alternate munitions.  Can BA use NARC equipped LRMs & SRMs?

Second question is, can BA dismount from a Omni or MagClamp equipped dismount from a mech at the end of its jump?

Since NARC missiles are not listed as allowable ammo types, that tells me that BA cannot use them.

There is nothing in the most recent errata preventing a mech from offloading mechanized BA while jumping.

I read the rules that way as well, but with a Grenadier having a BA NARC Launcher and a mess of SRMs . . . as well as it not being a system like Artemis IV, I was wondering if I missed a errata or something.  GTD
