Warmonger Tips To Surviving Sadistic Battlemasters!

  1. Weapons

        o You need them, but not before armor
        o Lasers are great for campaigns with low line armor(Any non-heavy)
        o Lasers are marginal at best other wise
        o Aim lasers at the chest(less threshold than the head)
        o Pulse cannons tear stuff up. Hard to salvage much.
        o Pulse cannons work well at all levels of armor, but take time to
          work through the absorption.
        o Omega Weapons should be aimed at the head bone!(not much
          absorption!)
        o Till we find out different, Omega wpns are useless against
          Cyborgs! (no integrity damage, and cyborgs only take integrity
          damage)
        o Web guns are cheap fun. Pick up a splatter cannon
        o For true carnage, the saylon reflex missile is hard to beat.
        o The Bonoir anti-tank missile is a close second(-40 to aim at size
          class 4!)
        o Dual mount Rommels on a cizerack are loads of fun!
        o Arm rockets are fire one/fire all.
        o Ram Pythons with the Death Knoogie FIST system are Dangerous!!!!
          (at 25th level H-T-H, 3 attacks per second = 240+ damage)
        o Give the above Ram cyborg arms at strength 200 he does 8HP+ per
          second. (i.e. 3 seconds till orbit if you wear a Force Shield!)
  2. Armor
        o Buy armor first
        o Never leave base without your helmet
        o Don't accept open face helmets
        o Environmental Containment!
        o QSU! Don't forget you have to get a seperate one for the
          atmospheric liner
        o (and the other basics like corrosive liner,...)
        o Heavy Armor for at least one party member ASAP!(they can drag the
          rest home!)
        o Put a size class 2 character in any mech. armor to carry wounded
          out from danger!
        o machine gun lasers are useless against most mech armors.
        o PAWS are too if you have the MDG?? which halves damage from pulse
        o AUTO DOC!!!
        o Don't forget to get gyro stabilizers for big weapons with
          autofire!
  3. General
        o You can survive heavy combat without a zen.(you better have
          1/4-1/2 your team have medical skills!)
        o Chatilians are great for interrogation!
        o Ram Pythons with Death Knoogies!!
        o Mega glue!(look for our 1000 uses for mega glue!)
        o After the team has formed some team spirit, pool money to
          equalize armor/wpns.
        o Talismen of the Zen are a fact of Combat life.(Black bands, and
          foobar stars had better not be!!)
        o A pair of drivers never hurts.
        o Cyborg discplacement devices are 1,000 times better than the
          armor option
        o Have FUN!!!
