![]() ![]() This also effects things like the rough riders, not being able to give them their hunting lances and the other weapons options they have. It also means I can't do much with the close combat troops, because you can't give multiple primary weapons to a squad. It's not as big an issue for the majority of 40k infantry, but for these 6-man groups of heavy weapons it certainly is. Flamers don't flame, Machine guns don't heavy burst fire, etc. That means each squad has 1 secondary weapon, which means no matter what support weapon I put in there it gets the range and specials of the Lasgun analogues. This forced me to use the 3 2-man squads in a 6-man platoon for the heavy weapons teams in order to get the 3 support weapons. You can only have a maximum of 2 secondary weapons in a squad. If there is 2 secondary weapons per squad, you use the range and specials of the secondary weapons. If there is only 1 secondary weapon (IE support weapons) per squad, the whole squad uses the special effects and range of the primary weapon (IE the Lasgun analogues). It's a rules issue that is caused by the abstract-ness of infantry in battletech. Nothing is really going to fix them completely. As was pointed out earlier, infantry support weapons in battletech are not up to the same performance as the same items in 40k, so these heavy weapons teams are not going to be anywhere near as good as their 40k counterparts, though these ones are correspondingly much cheaper as well. This means each of these six man groups gets deployed separately on the field. 3 squads of 2 men each, with one support secondary weapon per squad. Rules wise, each of these heavy weapons teams is actually a platoon in battle tech. This allows them much greater flexibility on deployment. The Imperium's regular army employs small teams of heavy weapons crews in key areas, rather than deploying them in large formations.
