Nice. The only place it has trouble is at 3 hexes or less. I'd almost think about taking this up against a stock Sagittaire - two clashing philosophies.
Did you fit CASE on there? Even without, that's a very rugged mech.

No CASE, wanted it but I felt that if used right it would be out off ammo before it was damaged enough to worry about ammo going off...would be interested in see how it would do against the Sagittaire aka Super Urbanmech.

Interesting indeed! This is one I'd *definitely* consider using...it has that "Super Awesome" feel to it. And wasn't there an AWS variant with LRMs?
Personally I'd drop an LRM (and maybe some leg armor) for Artemis and some ERMLs. Or just ERMLs. Just in case, y'know...
Actually, dropping 4pts on each leg and consolidating the ammo in one torso would be perfect for CASE.
All in all quite good!

Heh. The 60L was always IMO a hairs-breadth from greatness, a poor-man's Hunchie. If only there were a couple more tons to play with...

Thanks, I like your suggestion on the ammo and CASE idea and will add that to the fluff for a variant.

Tough enough, and it will be working with other mechs, so the minimum ranges don`t pose too much of a problem. Still, if there are complaints, I would swap the PPCs for Large Lasers and add something for the leftover tons. CASE and a few Medium Lasers can`t go wrong. Or just see to it you always pair this machine with a close-combat mech, like a Grasshopper or Hunchback...Now where do I want to be?

It has four tons of ammo...that is 8 shots per LRM15. How does it need a fifth ton of ammo?

Must be a personal taste, because I can't figure this one. One more ton only gives each LRM two more shots, or...10? Something about 10 shots per weapon minimum?

Well, I'd mount MLs if you could...but I wouldn't sacrifice the PPCs for them or LLs. PPCs mesh well with the LRMs while LLs end up with some awkward range breaks.
What you need is a short range, high damage LRM round.

And don't you have just the ticket, from that West BF firm? Heavy Tactical missiles, or something?

I thought you had a SR LRM, too.
But yes, Acme Arms, home of drunk swamp rat hunters.

In all honesty I don't see the need to near max out on armor. It could stand to have just a tinsy bit more firepower longevity.
