Medium Mecha

I might reduce it to one missile pod. Mostly because you are loading a lot of points in weapons for a medium mecha. Given the abstracted concept behind the design of Gruntz it might be better to bundle the "Missile" capability of the model under on Missile pod weapon.

I know I would be worried about the damage taking potential of a medium mecha with lots of weapons. - It puts a lot of points into a medium hull.

I had not intended to make Gruntz a game where every weapon on a model was represented but have had significant player pressure to add more weapons - which I was happy to comply with to cope with mecha bristling with weapons. I think it depends on your own personal choice on design though, even though you have medium hull, you still have a lot of damage output to dish out to your opponent. A bit of a glass assassin.

Now to find someone who will make us a Blackhawk model with loads of lasers!

HeHe. You read my mind Robin. I have been trying to think of a reasonable way to stat out some of the Btech designs as that was my first love. I suppose one could call the weapon "Medium Laser Battery" and have one or two attacks. The big issue I'm having is how effective missile weapons are. I need something with good range but that is only marginally effective vs. armor as opposed to the missile stats we have now. Something like Dmg 10-12 total.

I built two into this so I could fire both, using the Mecha can fire twice ruling.

Or can vehicle/mecha still fire a weapon twice in a firing action if there is only one of it (tank main gun for instance)?

No you are right, you can fire all weapons with the incremental negative to the shooting. However the mains guns are ROF 1.
