[Heavy Weapons] Squad Weapons (LMG, LAG...)

[Kilgs]

What specialty covers these weapons? I'm tempted to make a "Squad Weapon" specialty but don't want to crimp the use of skills by requiring more of them...

Any ideas?

I would think that Heavy Weapons, Man Portable would do it.

But then I tend to go for a simple answer rather than reason it out (Go Winnipeg Rifles Mascot!)

Here's the solution I saw used once:

All subskills for the Heavy Weapon skill are replaced as follows:

Heavy Weapons

-(Infantry)
Includes: ARMP, AT Gun, Field Mortar, Flamethrower, Grenade Launcher, LMG, LAG, RAM, Rocket Launcher

-(Cavalry)
Includes: AT Gun, Autocannon, FGMP, Mass Driver, PGMP, VRF Gauss Rifle

-(Field Artillery)
Includes: Field Mortar, Howitzer, MRL Pack, Mass Driver, Meson Accelerator

-(Armored Infantry)
Includes: FGMP, PGMP, VRF Gauss Rifle


Otherwise I'd just stick them under Man-Portable and rename it Direct Fire.

I like that! Launchers is so... weak. This is much better.

Chrome's suggestion seems quite nice (/cheer for Chrome).

Also lets one add to the lists as time goes by (and booklets come out)

Hmmm may have to steal err "Borrow" the idea.

Take care
