==Overview:==
The CMX-4G Camaxtli is a heavy fire support mech in the line of the Awesome
and the Flashman.
When the Randam Mechwerks factories were raided by WOB forces they ran into
the Randam Security Battalion, equipped exclusively with Camaxtli, a prototype
mech intended for service with FWL forces, but failed to get a contract. None
of the other houses were interested and the Randam board of directors decided
to replace its ageing security forces with the pre-production Camaxtli mechs.
WOB forces confronted two Camaxtli companies while a third flanked the enemy
attackers and attempted to destroy their dropships.
==Capabilities:==
The Camaxtli was designed as an energy-based fire support mech with a superior
heat management.
Using the Awesome as inspiration, designers boosted the top speed to 64 kph
using an XL engine, freeing up enough weight to mount 18 double strength heat
sinks allowing the installation of a pair of ER Large Lasers and a
conventional PPC. Although another energy weapon would have been the more
logical choice, designers mounted a pair of LRM10 racks, while underpowered
for such a heavy chassis, they were ideally suited to the type of operations
the Camaxtli was designed for.
Though a long range fighter, it carries heavy armour and an ECM system giving
it the ability to close the range with enemy forces without fear of being
prematurely disabled.
==Battle History:==
WOB forces attacked with two companies of heavy and medium mechs. While Able
and Baker companies defended the factor, Charlie Company engaged the enemy
dropships. Much to their surprise WOB forces landed a fourth dropship
containing a reserve force of assault mechs. The battle was bitter fought and
the WOB forces used their dropships as fire bases to cover the advance of
their assault mechs.
As the WOB forces broke off the engagement at the factories, Able and Baker
joined the fight, it was the timely intervention of a group of hastily
gathered mechs piloted by Mechwerks personnel that saved the battalion from
destruction.
WOB forces boarded their dropships, but one of their ships, now nearly empty,
set course for the factories in a suicide run. All forces present at the
factories opened fire on the dropship's vulnerable engines and though several
production lines were damaged in the crash, the main factory was saved.
Demand for the Camaxtli shot up after this incident and a record production of
217 Camaxtli was achieved until the factory was nuked by WOB forces four years
later.
==Variants:==
Though several variants were considered, the destruction of the main Randam
Mechwerks production line effectively ended the production run.
==Notable 'Mechs & MechWarriors:==
Commander Sally Grant Mitchum
Sally Mitchum presented a rather surprising figure with her blood red hair,
tattoos, piercings and a preference for plaid miniskirts. A skilled
mechwarrior and excellent officer, the unusual level of personal freedom
Randam personnel enjoyed, allowed her to express the raw edge of her
personality.
Deadly in combat, she died dueling a pair of Vanquishers, leaving an
impressive trail of destruction behind her. Her flanking move probably kept
the WOB forces on the defensive and saved the factories, despite their suicide
attack.
==Deployment==
Camaxtli ended up scattered across the Inner Sphere, most going to Lyrian
Alliance forces and the Free Worlds League.

Not all that bad at all... Enough Ammo for the Launchers and a better-than-average Heat Curve. I'm always edgy of large designs with XL engines though. Still it works well with its requirement of being a Brawler. Can force Long Range for just a few more secodns to get more Ammo out of its Torso.
I'd order a few.

nice build, hard hitting assault; the fluff is good too, shows its a mech thats a basher; and anything that puts WOB back in its place for a time is a good thing.
Greetings Mechwarrior.
