Hello All,
I was attempting to make cards for future mini expansions of my force. When I
went to do the FV202 Phalanx I ran into a problem. Either I am doing something
wrong or the vehicle as written in Stargrunt can not be done in Dirtside. Help
me please.
Phalanx Size 4 vehicle 4x5= 20 capacity points
DFFG/1 in Turret = 1x3 = 3pts
DFFG/1 in Turret = 1x3 = 3pts
4 Troop Elements = 4x4 = 16pts Total Points = 22pts
Even though the two DFFGs are in separate Turrets let's take one down to only
2 points? Still 21 points.
Am I missing something here?
No. The Phalanx as written in Stargrunt is illegal (both under the Stargrunt
and Dirtside vehicle construction rules).
2 x DFFG/1 in a turret = 5 pts
1 x SAW = 0 pts
4 x Troop spaces = 16 pts
Total: = 21 pts
I would suggest dropping it to 3 troop spaces or stating that one of the
turrets has 1 x DFFG/1 and the other the "free" SAW.
2 x DFFG/1 full turret = 5 pts
1 x SAW = 0 pts
3 x Troop space (4) = 12 pts
Total: = 17 pts
1 x DFFG/1 full turret = 3 pts
1 x SAW = 0 pts
4 x Troop space (4) = 16 pts
Total: = 19 pts

Brian, that doesn't work in DS2 because on page 11 it says: (Caps for Bold
Face type not volume control.)
"...ALL MILITARY VEHICLES ARE FITTED WITH ONE "FREE" APSW, CAPABLE OF ALL
AROUND FIRE; THIS WEAPON DOES NOT COUNT TOWARDS ANY WEAPONS FIT LIMITATIONS,
OR TAKE UP ANY CAPACITY. [This is assumed to be a Machinegun or equivalent, on
an external remote mounting..."
Note that an 'external remote mounting' in not the same as mounting it in
the turret. It apparently is a mini-turret strictly for the APSW
(better then a pintle mount...) only.
