I don't have a copy of DS2 handy (I have all the others...honest...). How does
DS2 handle multiple weapons mounts (ie a quad APSW or a quad
MDC/4 for example)? Does the treatment of a multi-mount vary depending
on if the target is infantry or a vehicle? Are they all fired separately, or
is their some way of integrating the effect of the extra weapon in the mount?
Any info would be a plus. Thanks.:)
Against vehicles, the rules handle it by simply rolling extra FC die against
the one target.
1 barrel = 1 FC die vs range/cover
2 barrels = 2 FC die vs range/cover (defence die only rolled once)
3 barrels = 3 FC die vs range/cover (defence die only rolled once)
DS doesn't currently use the Quality die in fire combat, but it translates
across perfectly for SG.
Against infantry (dispersed target), no to hit roll is made, but you can only
hit the 1 target and draw chits separately for each barrel against that 1
target.
In a close assault though, vehicles only have access to their APSWs or are
treated as firing 1 IAVR regardless of armament.
By the way, you can't fit a quad MDC/4 unless you're designing a modular
vehicle. ;-)
