Subject: PA TO&E the ongoing project

Well, this is what I'm lookign at so far.

I have been milling over the responses I've had from everyone who sent them
in. There have been some good points made.

I am kicking around the idea of increasing the number of PAs per squad,
but this will kill the one wonderful thing about my current TO&E - I can
field a whole Company without having to buy anymore PAs.

If I read one response correctly, I can change the weapons carried to
"point-fire" and give them a fighting chance against tanks.  Now I know
Tanks don't come into play too often in SG, but I like to design with a solid
theme and narrative background. I could just as easily trick these PAs out.

Right now they are lookign like this.

HPA-42
Standard Heavy PA Type: Heavy Speed: 10" (D10") Armour: D12
Weapons:  1 Point-fire laser (FP:2 Impact:D8*)

Varients:
HPA-42C - Command variant with enhanced comms
HPA-42E - Comm/EW variant with advanced comms/EW
HPA-42R - Recon variant of the HPA-42E with ehanced sensors and ECM.
HPA-42AT - Support variant equipped with GMS

So? what now?

[Bri] With a little previso. No small arms weapon (even those with
asterisk (*) next to them) can have NO effect, except supperssion, agianst
Class-2
armor or better (SG p.37). And there are not too many armor class-1
tanks (at least in DS2). So you may want to go back to having the PA have a
heavy weapon or a larger mix of the AT variant of your PA.
