Dude stop your Royal Highass complaining. You were saying something about how many tanks you could take if based on cost. Well, vehicles are cheap because they are vulnerable, die easy, and are expendable. It is the nature of Battletech to keep the vehicles in support roles and the Mechs as King of the Battlefield. And, besides, cost being a major factor in determing the winner, your tank takes its edge and advantage in that aspect. Not to mention the possibility of taking a Mech's head off at long-range, which has been known to happen. Inferno's give you heartburn, but you could be tread-dead with a jammed turret just as easily from a LBX or SRM.
Point 1 - Diplomacy: suggest a new rule, change or modification. Don't be so demanding. Dester is running the competition not you.
Point 2 - I am not taking off my inferno unless Dester asks me to. It is intergal to the Mech's design and removal would destroy its character. Even if Dester mitigates its effectiveness to keep things fair, I'd leave it on. I'd be disappointed, but I'd leave it on.
Point 3 - You obviously think I have put you at an unfair disadvantage. So, perhaps Dester would allow you to modify your submission, so that you could add an AMS with a couple tons of ammo. A SRM-2 is fairly easy to deal with. I will even ask for you.
Dester, my design has left His Royal Highass Donkey's tank in a potentially unfair situation. Would you allow him/her to modify his/her design to address this situation, if he/she desires to do so? Thank you. KitK
Point 4 Inferno rules are not mandatory. From Battletech compendium page 70. quote All players should review the special-case rules and agree on thous to be included in there game before beginning play. end quote fire in in the special case rules.
As for your point 1 I did do that! I am willing to agree to them with some modification.

If you want to say that an inferno round does not hit the tank but it hits the hex that its in. Also that if the tank leaves the hex as soon as it can it will not be affected by the fire. I will agree to that. The only way that the tank can be destroyed by fire is if its dead in the water. By that point its destroyed anyways. If you have that as the rule for tanks and fire I will agree to the use of infernos. If not no infernos missiles.
As for your last statement your right Dester has the last word. He can do whatever he feels like. Since this is not a campaign that I am joining. What ever I say is worth less than nothing. I am just trying to give my design a fair fighting chance. If infernos are used under the rules as they are. I might as well pull my tank design out of the competition. It does not have a chance.
