Code tags don't work?  That's what I use with SSW, and it works fine...

I just realized that this thread is missing stealth armor! So this might not be the cheapest way to bring 20 LRM tubes to the field, but at least it's pretty hard to put down. And it still won't break the bank. :)

If I wanted cheap fire support I wouldn't go with a 'Mech, in the ever popular 3025 I'd take a Lesseps Dump Truck, pull the backhoe and dumper mechanism to get me 2 LRM-20' with AFC and 4 tons ammo, the BAR 5 armor isn't that much of a worry, it shouldn't be in range of any weapon powerful enough to punch strait through the armor.
