Description[edit]
The Backhoe is a piece of construction equipment that is rarely seen on the battlefield. Usually found on IndustrialMechs and vehicles used for construction the backhoe is simply a large metal bucket on an articulated arm that is used for excavation. This allows construction companies to quickly move soil to create basements, ditches, hills, and otherwise modify the terrain.[5]
Rules[edit]
Game Rules[edit]
The Backhoe inflicts 6 points of damage on any target it hits, or 6+1d6 versus buildings.[6] Damage is affected by Triple Strength Myomer.[1] As it isn't a weapon, to-hit rolls with a Backhoe receive a +1 modifier.
A Support Vehicle cannot use a Backhoe to attack an enemy unit, but a Support Vehicle can attack a building.
Bipedal 'Mechs can carry a single Backhoe in each arm, but must remove the hand actuator to do so. Quad 'Mechs can mount a single Backhoe in each side torso. Vehicles can mount one Backhoe on their Front, Rear, and Turret locations. Regardless of unit type a Backhoe may not be mounted in any area that mounts a Chainsaw, Dual Saw, Mining Drill, Rock Cutter, Wrecking Ball, Combine, or Pile Driver.[5]
