Stats for the Avenger Bombardment Laser?

[Ray Ray]

The new MI Army list / rules (v1.6) list a new Fleet Asset the "Avenger Bombardment Laser" under the category of 'Orbital Bombardment'. The supplement fails to indicate what the effect of the weapon is. As its a new toy, its not in the v1.0 lists. All we know is that it is 150 pts per salvo, making it more costly than a Firestorm while less than a Pee Wee nuke.

Is it treated as an artillery strike? Does it fall in the Air phase? Should it be treated as similar to the Orbital Bombardment strike from the Skinnie supplement?

Any thoughts as to its damage and lethal zone?

Thanks!

I see this was never addressed. Hmmmmmmmm...

Development ceased on the game before the weapon was fleshed out.

Any thoughts on it though, Matt?

Somewhere inbetween a Firestorm and a Pee-wee

Seriously, though, I would be thinking about a big blast template, with 'okay' Damage Dice (let it have a chance of cracking a Marauder), but with a very high Piercing trait.

mmm... orbital goodness!


Mind if I give 'em something to gnaw on a bit stats wise?
