Quote from: Anti-Infantry System Rules

Tabletop Rules:
Anti-Infantry System (AIS) are anti-infantry and anti-battle armor weapons only. They won't fire on any other target.

Upon use, choose 3 infantry units within range of the AIS. Roll the required number of dice and apply damage. All AIS weapons will get a -1 penalty when firing upon infantry/battle armor in the same hex as the unit.
___________________________________
Battletech/Mechwarrior (video game) Rules:
Anti-Infantry System units are mounted in the same slot as the Anti-Missile System and function similarly as AMS when it comes to use. AIS gets less accurate when fighting infantry within 30 meters and are subject to Line of Sight.


That should do it... for prototype 3.

I just had this thought of using Tesla Coils as anti-infantry weapons. They'd generate heat but be ammo free. Infantry get to close and ZAP! It probably wouldn't work but it was a thought. Might work better on vehicles as it could be omni directional.

I'd keep the laser systems to 2d6... One ton Small Pulse Lasers only get that much. If anything gets 3d6, I'd think the Grenade Launcher would make the most sense.  And the Rocket version should probably only be 1d6... its range is its main feature.

Thanks, new to this 'make stuff for Battletech' thing. ;)

Should I add an ER laser variant or keep it as it is?

I wouldn't add an ER version, at least not with the ability to target at 0 hexes...

That should do it then. It was going to get crowded anyway.

That should do it then. Maybe I should propose this to be part of the 'unofficial' stuff given that it would fit well into the setting...
