Tech Availability - Current Timeline

During the year 3028...
The Fourth Succession War begins.

The Federated Commonwealth is unofficially formed, Hanse Davion and Melissa Steiner marry..
Northwind Agreement takes effect.
Thomas Marik Promotion
Wolf's Dragon is betrayed by House Kurita and the Battle of Misery ensues.
The Grey Death Legion discovers Helm Memory Core.

During the year is 3029...
Myndo Waterly named Primus.
Tikonov Free Republic formed.

Effective Immediately, Characters may start accumulating equipment for personal use on and off missions. Equipment removed is no longer lost and may be accumulated.

There are limits to what a character may accumulate.

Armor is accumulated in anticipation of modifications, and/or SOMETIMES some of it may be used on missions when you do not have access to the unit repair pool.
Maximum Armor = 20% of your Mech's weight.

Internals is accumulated in anticipation of modifications, and SOMETIMES some of it may be used on missions when you do not have access to the unit repair pool.
Maximum Armor = 5% of your Mech's weight.

Ammunition is accumulated in anticipation of the need for alternate munitions, and is used when the character has access to their repair pools, or between contracts.

Maximum Ammo by weight = {Mental Ability + Ballistics + Missile + Trigger Happy (x2) + Rank} tons

Maximum Ammo by clips = {2 + Rank} clips for each ammo using module. {Heavy Modules count double}
(Heat sinks counts as 'clips' for Energy Weapons)

Equipment is accumulated when removed from your mech for modification, or when you make availability rolls for equipment. This is done in anticipation of modifications or damage taken during missions. Equipment is counted in one of three ways, by item, by tonnage, or if you have a Power Loader, by Modules. Player are free to apply the most advantageous method.

Maximum Equipment by items = {2 + Mental Ability + X-Tech + Tinker + Noble + Rank}/2 items

Maximum Equipment by weight = {2 + Mental Ability + X-Tech + Tinker + Noble + Rank} tons

Maximum Equipment by module = (4) Torso Modules + (4) Arm Modules + (4) System Modules
(x1.5 Modules if the character has a rank of at least one.)

Should a character exceed these limits, they will not be allowed to add to their inventory, until their inventory is reduced. Characters/Players may NOT share inventory space (no mules).

Availability Rolls are allowed between contracts to acquire equipment for a character. This can be as small as a machine gun, or as large as an entire battlemech. Regardless of what is being rolled and if they are successful or failed, a character may not attempt to roll for something more than once per bookkeeping phase.

Modifiers to Roll:

+1 per level of Nobility the character has (it pays to be connected)

+1 per (2) Levels of Mental Ability the character has (knowing who to go to, and how to convince them to give you what you want is helpful.)

+1 if the character has a Rank of 2 or higher(when all else fails pulling rank can get things done)

per the PDF, Rank can no longer loan a bonus.

Number of Rolls:

~~(2) Base +1 for each (2) Levels of bonus the character has for Availability Rolls.~~

Repair Rolls sometimes a character doesnt need new equipment, but simply needs parts to get existing equipment, that has been damaged in combat, working again. Equipment is considered 'damaged', if it the number of critical hits taken does not exceed the number criticals the equipment has. It is more attractive to 'repair' something than buy it new.

A character can trade one Availability roll for two Repair Rolls.

The target number required to find parts to repair equipment is two lower than to find them new.

{Cost to repair one critical} = {Cost of New Equipment}/{Equipment Criticals} (plus repair modifier)

Characters may now sell equipment for it's value, or... if they have room in their personal inventory, may save it for future use.

Apply the repair modifier to the equipment removed to determine the cost to remove the equipment.

COST listed are the 'base' cost, and need to be multiplied by the Repair modifier to use. Ammo and Armor are multiplied by the current mech in use when they are bought.

Salvage Rolls

Availability TN - 5 = the negative adjustment to the Tech Roll for salvage operations.
Gyros add -2 to the roll, and -1 for each ton.

Engines may not be salvaged.

Tech Availability - Physical Weapons

From the inspiring presence of the Hatchetman, and the exotic matches of the Solaris games,it was inevitable that such fanciful weapons of destruction make their way to the battlefields. These are the allowable weapons incorporated into the campaign for use.

Hatchet:

Prohibited Units: Only humanoid BattleMechs and IndustrialMechs may carry a hatchet.

Construction Rules: ‘Mechs may mount Hatchets in the arm locations only. Each arm may install a maximum of 1 Hatchet, and then only if the selected arm also possess a full set of arm and hand actuators.

The weight, critical space and base damage for a hatchet is based directly on the weight of the BattleMech/IndustrialMech wielding it. Both the tonnage and critical slots taken up by a Hatchet are equal to the ‘Mech’s tonnage, divided by 15, rounding up to the nearest whole number. The hatchet’s base damage value is equal to the ‘Mech’s tonnage, divided by 5 (rounded up to the nearest whole).

The Hatchet has a -1 Attack bonus when making a normal attack, which resolves using the Standard Hit Locations Table.
The Hatchet also has the option to take a +4 Attack penalty to use to resolve hits on the Punch Table

Attack -1 Bonus Mod {+3 Penalty for Punch charts}
Damage Mech Weight/5
Weight 1tn per 15tn Mech
Criticals Mech Weight/15 (round up)
Cost 5k cb per ton.

Sword:

Unit Restrictions: Only Humanoid BattleMechs and IndustrialMechs may carry a sword.

Construction Rules: ‘Mechs may mount swords in the Arm locations only. Each arm may install a maximum of 1 sword, and then only if the selected arm also possess a full set of arm and hand actuators.

The weight, critical space and base damage for a sword is based directly on the weight of the BattleMech/IndustrialMech wielding it. A sword’s weight (in tons) is equal to the ‘Mech’s tonnage, divided by 20 (rounded up to the nearest whole number). The number of critical slots a sword requires is equal to the ‘Mech’s tonnage, divided by 15 (rounded up to the nearest whole number). The sword’s base damage value is equal to the ‘Mech’s tonnage, divided by 10 (rounded up to the nearest whole), plus 1 additional point.

The Sword has a -2 Attack bonus when making a normal attack, which resolves using the Standard Hit Locations Table.
The Sword also has the option to take a +4 Attack penalty to use to resolve hits on the Punch Table

Attack -2 Bonus Mod {+2 Penalty for Punch charts}
Damage 1 + (Mech Weight/10)
Weight 1tn per 20tn Mech
Criticals Mech Weight/15 (Round up)
Cost 10k cb per ton.

Claymore ~ -2 to Hit ~ 1/per 5 tons Damage
Footnotes ~ The Claymore requires both hands/arms to use, and uses the Forward attack Arc.

quote:

Unit Restrictions: Only Humanoid BattleMechs and IndustrialMechs may carry a Claymore.

Construction Rules: ‘Mechs may mount Claymore in the Arm locations only. The Claymore is installed in both arms, and requries that the arm possess a full set of arm and hand actuators.

The weight, critical space and base damage for a Claymore is based directly on the weight of the BattleMech/IndustrialMech wielding it. A sword’s weight (in tons) is equal to the ‘Mech’s tonnage, divided by 15 (rounded up to the nearest whole number). The number of critical slots a sword requires, FOR EACH ARM, is equal to the ‘Mech’s tonnage, divided by 30 (rounded up to the nearest whole number). The sword’s base damage value is equal to the ‘Mech’s tonnage, divided by 5.

The Claymore has a -2 Attack bonus when making a normal attack, which resolves using the Standard Hit Locations Table.
The Claymore also has the option to take a +4 Attack penalty to use to resolve hits on the Punch Table

Attack -2 Bonus Mod {+2 Penalty for Punch charts}
Damage Mech Weight/5
Weight 1tn per 15tn Mech
Criticals Mech Weight/30 (Round up) for each arm
Cost 10k cb per ton.

Wrecking Ball:

Tech Base: Inner Sphere and Clan

Unit Restrictions: Only humanoid BattleMechs and IndustrialMechs, and ground- and naval-based Combat and Support Vehicles (those
with Wheeled, Tracked, Hover, WiGE, or Naval motive types—including submersibles and hydrofoils), may install a wrecking ball.

Game Rules: Note that Hover and WiGE units may not use a wrecking ball unless they have first landed (stopped in the previous turn and spent 0 MP in that turn) and are adjacent to the target. Naval units equipped with wrecking balls may only use them while stationary (spending 0 MP in that turn) and surfaced (at Depth 0) directly adjacent to a target.

Construction Rules: Combat and Support Vehicles may only mount a wrecking ball in a Turret location, but only if the location(s) selected does not also include a backhoe, chainsaw, combine, dual saw, heavy-duty pile driver, mining drill or rock cutter.
Humanoid BattleMechs and IndustrialMechs may mount wrecking balls in the arms only, but are limited to one wrecking ball per arm and must remove the hand actuator on the chosen arm to do so. Quad BattleMechs and IndustrialMechs may not mount wrecking balls. As
with vehicles, ‘Mechs may not place a wrecking ball in any location that also includes a backhoe, chainsaw, combine, dual saw, heavy-duty pile driver, mining drill or rock cutter.

Mass - 4 tons from the compiled sheets at the back of the book.

On a natural attack roll of '2', the Wrecking ball successfully delivered a self-infl icted hit against the attacker rather than the target. Such a self-infl icted strike causes half the normal damage and is resolved using the Front Hit Location Table. Immediately after sustaining damage from a self-infl icted wrecking ball hit, the player must make a Piloting Skill Roll to avoid falling from being thrown off -balance by this critical failure.

Total Warfare notes...:

Multiple Physical Attacks: A ‘Mech may only make a single type of physical attack in a single turn: charging, clubbing, death from above, kick, punch, push or phyiscal weapon attack. Even if a ’Mech mounts two physical weapons (identical or otherwise), it can only make a single physical weapon attack. When making a single punch attack, a player can punch with one or two arms (see Punch Attacks, p. 145).

You may punch two separate targets, and ignore the secondary target modifiers this would normally inflict.

Mechs may not punch or make attacks with melee weapons if they suffer a Shoulder critical.

Mechs that have suffered a Upper or Lower arm actuator hit inflict only half their normal damage. Mechs that have taken an Upper and a Lower actuator hit only inflict a quarter of their normal damage.

You do not need hands to Punch, but doing so without them (from design or damage) will inflict the normal +1 attack penalty.

Mechs that are designed without the Lower Arm actuator, take a +2 modifier to punch instead of the +1 modifer that would be incured by taking damage to the missing actuator.

Physical Combat Attack Modifiers:

Characters Physical stat is the base tn + Movement + Defense Modifier + Target Skill Modifier

+0 Charging, Death from Above, and Punching
-1 Clubbing and Pushing
-2 Kicking

Target Skill Modifier
+0 If the target has a tn 5+ for Pilot skill
+1 for each point lower than 5
-1 for each point higher than 5

Tech Availability - Mechs

Base tn for mechs is 20% of the mechs weight

tn +0 for Base Models
tn +2 for Variants

tn +1 for mechs for each Advance Tech {not listed below} on them
tn +2 for mechs with Beagle or Guardian {+3 with both}
tn +3 for mechs with Ferro-Fib
tn +4 for mechs with Endo Steel or Target Computers

Mechs with Double Strength Heat Sinks will AT MOST, only have (6) DS/HS.

(1) in RT, (1) in LT, (2) in RA, and (2) in LA, is the cap of DS/HS i'm allowing on mechs.

Power Loaders are a campaign specific category of mechs. For the purposes of this campaign they are the prototypes and will eventually evolve into Omnimechs in about 20 years.

There are several key differences between the Power Loaders, and Standard mechs.

Power Loaders use something called 'smart actuators', which adjust the torque applied to actuators, so that when the 'load' of the mech is reduced, the mech gains mobility.

Power Loaders have 'Hard points' and the use of standardized modules which are loaded into these hard points for combat.

Power Loaders as a general rule may not be modified.

The 'X' series are the first generation of Power Loaders. These Loaders all have (1) Hard point in each torso, and usually had (1) Hard point in each arm.

(25tn) X-3 ~ Mov 4/6/4 ~ (4) Hard Point ~ 7.5tn Load ~ 1 294 584cb
(30tn) X-3A ~ Mov 6/9/0 ~ (3) Hard Point ~ 6.5tn Load ~ 1 808 300cb
(30tn) X-3C ~ Mov 6/9/0 ~ (4) Hard Point ~ 8.5tn Load ~ 1 795 300cb

Standard Module:

Each Hard Point was capable of mounting a weapon no heavier than 15% of the mechs weight. Ballistic and Missile using weapons automatically add .5 tons to the weight of the weapon for CASE (cost +50% cost to a max of 50k cb for CASE). The weight of ammo is not calculated as part of the module, but is calculated as 'clips' which are used with ammo using modules.

A Standard Module has enough space for (3) Critical spaces (which needs to include space for the presence of any ammo or CASE)
The cost to install weapons into modules is the value of the weapon (x.3)

Heavy Weapon Module:

A Heavy Weapon Module was used for weapons too bulky or too large for standard modules. A Heavy Weapon Module made use of both Torso Hard Points or both Arm Hard Points. They are capable of mounting a weapon no heavier than 25% of the mechs weight. Ballistic and Missile using weapons automatically add .5 tons to the weight of the weapon for CASE (cost +50% cost to a max of 50k cb for CASE). The weight of ammo is not calculated as part of the module, but is calculated as 'clips' which are used with ammo using modules.

A Heavy Weapon Module has enough space for (6) Critical spaces (which needs to include space for the presence of any ammo or CASE)
The cost to install weapons into modules is the value of the weapon (x.3)

Footnote: For technical reasons, the Torso Hard points are required to run (2) identical Standard Modules or (1) Heavy Module.

Footnote: The X-3A, makes use of an intergrated sword in the arm, and as such only had only one Hard Point. In 3030, Omni puts out a 'Command kit' to upgrade the electronics in the arm, allowing the sword to be removed and a second hard point installed, effectively converting the X-3A into a X-3C.

The 'A' series are the second generation of Power Loaders. The 'A'series made use of Ferro-Fibrous armor, and allowed the use of light weapon pack and system modules.

(30tn) A-3 ~ Mov 5/8/0 ~ (4) Weapon Hard Points ~ (4) System Hard Points ~ 10.5tn Load ~ 1,864,720cb

Light Weapon Pack Module:

Removal of the hand actuator on the arm, allowed a larger module to be installed on the Hard Point called Light Weapon Packs. Each LWP was capable of mounting (2) identical light weapons no heavier than 10% of the mechs weight. The weapons must have the same target and always fire together. A single hit on the weapon pack would disable both weapons.

Ballistic and Missile using weapons automatically add .5 tons to the weight of the weapon for CASE (cost +50% cost to a max of 50k cb for CASE). The weight of ammo is not calculated as part of the module, but is calculated as 'clips' which are used with ammo using modules.

A Standard Module has enough space for (3) Critical spaces (which needs to include space for the presence of any ammo or CASE)
The cost to install weapons into modules is the value of the weapon (x.3)

System Modules:

Are used at various points of the mech for non-weapon systems. Which included such options as Jump Jets, Heat sinks, Plugsuits, and/or Targeting computers.

Footnote:
Characters are limited to (4) of each type of module that the Power Loader can use. Characters with a rank of one or higher are allowed an extra (2) modules.

'unused modules' may be used as storage for equipment. Each module may hold one item, no heavier than 4.5 tons. Multiple modules may be used to store equipment heavier than 4.5 tons.

Tech Availability - Infantry

For this campaign...

Infantry are deployed in 7 men squads. Infantry

SRM Infantry are normally armed with SRM missiles, which do direct fire damage. It is possible that the infantry to carry and use alternate missiles.

Infernos ~ Inferno missiles do no damage, but for each point of damage that is normally inflicted, a point of heat is added to the mech.

The First Infantryman in the squad may be equipped with TAG, Light.
This soldier may make an attack roll to paint a target for indirect fire support with a laser spotter. The range for this is 3/6/9.

The rest of the infantry may make normal attacks, but calculate the squad size as one less for damage to account for the loss of the trooper attempting to paint a target.
