Artillery and other 'Heavy equipment'

The E-Web needed Sandbag emplacements to keep it really secure... The F-Web comes with it's own. Laughing

And you're right, Es, folks are better off with an E-Web than a P-Tower. Thing is, it's bloody hard to get E-Webs, while you can't force P-Towers on most units.

There's a few other bits of Nasty in the Rebel Alliance Sourcebook, later on, I'll post 'em.

An Anti-Personelle Cannon... And a few other odds and ends.

Anti-Infantry Battery:

The standard Alliance anti-infantry batery is a more effective, if also more expensive, artillery piece than the anti-vechicle laser cannon. Developed by Golan Arms, this gun was originally designed to counter large-scale infantry attack against fixed defensive positions. In keeping with the Alliance's tactical doctrine, Alliance techs have modified the guns to be more effective against combat assault vehicles.

The Golan DF.9, the most common Rebel model, has a 180 degree rotation turret mounted atop a cylindrical control housing. The three-man crew remains within the control housing, which is proton-shielded against close combat blasters. Access to the control housing is gained through hatches on the turret top or on the side of the housing.

A closely related variant of the standard DF.9 is the Twin DF.9, which features a smaller blast radius, but a much faster fire rate. Many of the Twin DF.9's are self-propelled (These are designated Twin SP.9), but the fully stationary units have a thicker housing, making them more resistant to blaster bolts.

Hmmm much better protection for the operators and better fire control but the E-Web still does more damage...

Is it the most powerful 'portable' gun there is?

Thanks for the listing Ray 8)

Anything else up your sleeve?

Yes, but the E-Web doesn't affect a wide area, and blow stuff up nicely. Twisted Evil

Just an Anti-Orbital Ion Cannon, and a few Blaster Rifles and Pistols...

The Rebel Alliance is seriously lacking in Heavy Artillery. Hense Rogue Squadron doing the "Wire" thing on Hoth.

This is a fact that my group just found out at Alamo Base...

I meant the thrown detonator would bounce off the shield making the throwing of the detonator to hit the crew and gun more difficult

are there Impact Thermal Detonators?

What I meant was not to get the detonator through the shied, just next to it to wipe out the shield and hopefully the crew along with it. Only problem I see...getting in close enough range to throw the darn detonator. 8)

why don't we put on some jello body armor while we're at it?
or hey! we could have some some armor, with little pouches that hold nitro glycerine, so that when you run around, or try to dodge, or better yet, when you get shot. You blow up! Yay!

How about a 60 kiloton nuclear handgrenade? That's pretty much what you're playing with if you do that... Don't play with stuff like that... just stick to the normal thermal detonator. Or drop the impact one from someplacemore than 50 meters up...

Some one mentionned a 60 Kiloton nuclear handgrenade, 71 points of damage is pretty far from a nuclear blast, I have PC that could survive 71 points of damage if the survive the system shock I would have them roll for massive damage 8)
