Perhaps you'd care to elaborate on how exactly a group of Infantrymen is going to take out a Heavy WarMek? Apart from the few points I've raised above, any effective tactic for non-specialist Infantry fighting a WarMek is essentially going to rely on any other situation where one side...

True, but that doesn't change the fact that these desperately deployed troops will be low on effective anti-armour weapons and thus unlikely to do any significant damage.

This was why I said that whilst the average Infantry squad wouldn't have them, specialist Heavy Weapons squads would have two or three per squad. After all, I can't see any other type of squad being sent up against any form of Armour, be it Tanks or WarMeks, as anything other than a desperation...

I think the simple answer is that personal weapons will not do any damage at all to WarMeks. If your GM really wants to have infantry do damage to a WarMek or other hard armoured target with personal weapons, then the conversion rate for damage is 1 point of WarMek scale damage = 10 points of...

I'm not sure that Mortals can actually consume any form of Plasmic Iliaster. I think that Mortals are limited to whatever Iliaster they can generate personally, and that only Demons can consume the stuff and absorb it. However, look at the Sorceror's Brazier on page 180 of the Book of the...

The random mutations are intended to give variation and uncertainty. The fact that demons can end up with mutations that seem out of concept for their breed is the whole point of having them. You could always simply say that they are all chosen, but then half the fun would be lost. One way...

Heaven really is too perfect for a RPG setting- if you use the traditional version espoused by real-world religions. Utopias of any sort make very poor settings for games or stories- "Interesting Times", as the Chinese put it, are usually not very pleasant to experience personally. There are a...

Yes, I've read the FAQ. The only thing they clarify is that the base rate of pay should be multiplied by the number of WarMeks involved, which was never stated in the rules. And yes, the hard jobs would go to the elite pilots. This is why they charge more than three times as much as the newbie...

Having just got hold of the main rulebook, I have to admit that I really like the game. It's had mixed reviews, and not a few openly critical ones, which had made me a little wary of it. But on the whole, it's a solid game that just needs a little common sense and rules-tweaking to make it work...
