. "Gunslinger" mode. 
I've Been reading this forum, and wondered what you all thought about this new MI unit I've come up with. It's based on the Axon SPMA from Unreal Tournament 3. I have the stats that I've come up with below, but haven't found a suitable model for it yet. anyway, tell me what you think, and I can probably tweak it to make it more balanced, etc.
Paladin SPMA
(Self Propelled Mobile Artillery)
Type Value Size Move Close Combat Target Save Kill Traits
SPMA 350 4 4” D6 7+ 3+ 12+ Hits/6, Half-Track/10”, Retaliate
Half-Track/10” – This unit counts difficult terrain as clear, but will flinch D6”.
Special Rules
Cumbersome – The SPMA may only react using its Twin 50 autocannon, and only if enemies are within its forward 180o arc.
Autoloaders – All weapons (other than One-Shot!) mounted on this vehicle count as infinite.
Deploy – The SPMA must take a ready action to deploy the artillery cannon, allowing it to be fired. While in its deployed state, the vehicle cannot move, and must take a ready action to pack up in order to do so.
Sloped Armor – Sloping armor provides additional protection, allowing this unit to ignore piercing effects.
Target recognition – Specially designed shells detect friendly units’ transponders, deactivating if friendlies would fall within the blast radius. The player may ignore minimum range for artillery fire but may not fire if a friendly model would fall within the lethal zone.

Well, that makes sense but you should take the main gun into account on the basis of points.
I find the points cost to be somewhat, well, based first on opinion, then after a few game play sessions based on fact. See, you first set what you'd concider a reasonable price for the unit, then after a few gaming sessions you tweak said price till it's more balanced with the game.
