British: Issue weapons: Sterling (L2A3) Submachinegun, L85A2 assault rifle, L86A2 automatic rifle, L96A1 sniper rifle, FN-MAG (L7A1) machinegun,
and Browning “Highpower” (L9A1) pistol.
Sub-groups:
English: English is native language. The vast majority of British troops are English. England has reverted to a Monarchy with King William
(Charles and Diane’s son) now in control with parliament taking a rubber stamp role.
Welsh: English is native language, a small ethnic minority (20%) also has Welsh Gaelic as a native language. The Welsh are known for their
political independence and, ironically, loyalty to the crown.
Scottish: English is native language, a fairly large ethnic minority (30%) also receive Scots Gaelic as a native language. This minority also wants
an independent Scotland. Many of these troops are deserting and returning to Scotland to start a rebellion or joining American units to get a fresh start.
Irish: English is native language, a small ethnic minority (20%) also receive Irish Gaelic as a native language. After the chaos of the nuclear
exchange Eire and Northern Ireland reunited, and much blood was spilled. Most Catholic Irish returned to Eire and home. Protestant Irish remain in service
because they feel they have no home to return to.
Canadian: Issue weapons: Sterling (C1) submachinegun, C7 assault rifle, C9 light machinegun, C2A1 sniper rifle, FN-MAG (C6) machinegun, and
Browning “Highpower” pistol.
Anglo-Canadian: English is the native language and many (30%) also speak French. This is the majority of the Canadian forces and the only
Canadian troops still loyal to NATO.
French-Canadian: French is the native language with some (30%) speaking English as a native language also. Most French-Canadians (80%)
speak English. Almost all French-Canadian troops are no longer fighting and wish to return to now independent Quebec. A good many of these troops are in
prison camps for disobeying orders to return to duty. Quebec is currently negotiating for the release and return of these troops to Quebec, but even if
released transportation is not available.
Czech: Issue weapons: Cz.24 submachinegun, Vz.58 assault rifle, Cz.54 sniper rifle, vz/59 machinegun and Makarov (vz/82) pistol.
Czechoslovakia was a country made from several ethnic groups that, unlike the Balkans have gotten along pretty well. Even though the country is now
divided into The Czech Republic and Slovakia, there is no animosity between the two groups and they continue to serve together.
Czech: Czech is native language with Slovak, Hungarian and Romany being spoken as second languages by a few.
Slovak: Czech and Slovak are the native languages with Hungarian and Romany being spoken as a second language by a very few.
Danish: Issue weapons: Uzi submachinegun, G3 battle rifle, MG3 machinegun, and Browning “Highpower” pistol. Danish is the native language with
English and French being taught in secondary schools.
German: Despite almost thirty years apart, the two Germanys reunited in days, touching off the European theatre of the war. Officially there is no
difference between citizens from one side or the other, but West Germans tend to treat East Germans (or Ostees) like children who need to be protected from
themselves. Germany now wants security to put itself back together and to reconcile changes made to each of the former halves. Most German field units are
under US commanders.
East-German: Issue weapons: AKSU-74 (MPi-AKS74-NK) “submachinegun”, AK-74 (MPi-AK74-N) assault rifle, RPK-74 automatic rifle, SVD
sniper rifle, PK machinegun, and Makarov pistol.
German is the native language with Russian and Polish being common second languages.
West-German: Issue weapons: MP5 submachinegun, Uzi (MP1) submachinegun, G11 “submachinegun”, G41 assault rifle, G3 battle rifle, PSG1
sniper rifle, MG3 machinegun and HK P7M13 pistol.
German is the native language with English being the most common second language.
Hungarian: Issue weapons: AKM (AMM) assault rifle, RPK automatic rifle, SVD sniper rifle, PK machinegun, and PA-63 pistol.
Hungarian is the native language with 3% speaking German and 2% speaking Romany as a second native tongue. The Hungarians are thoroughly sick
of the war but fear that the Soviet Union still has a nuke or two aimed in their direction should they disobey.
Polish: Issue weapons: Skbk wz.89 “submachinegun”, Kbk wz.88 'Tantal' assault rifle, SVD (SWD and SWD-M) sniper rifle, PKM machinegun, and P-83
pistol.
The Poles are the hosts to the final stages of the war. The bitterest fighting of the European theatre has been in Poland. The Germans do not wish to
see further destruction enter their land to the west and the Soviets are equally reluctant to allow it to move east. Thus the Poles are being ground under two giants
very large feet. The vast majority of civilians in the game will be Polish. Polish civilians may purchase AKM (PMKMS) and Kbk wz.44 rifles and P-64 pistols as
civilian equipment since so many were issued to ORMO (militia) units.
Soviet: Issue weapons: AKSU-74 “submachinegun”, AK-74M assault rifle, RPK-74M automatic rifle, SVD sniper rifle, PK machinegun, and Makarov
pistol.
The Soviet Union consists of more than eighteen different nationalities and over fifty cultures. Of the eighteen, only three, Byelorussia, Ukraine and
Russia speak Russian as a native language. The remaining fifteen, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Chuvash, Estonia, Georgia (don’t get confused here), Kazakh, Kirgiz,
Latvia, Lithuaunia, Mordvinia, Romania, Tajik, Tatar, Turkmen and Uzbek, speak their own languages. Most Soviet conscripts learn broken Russian in training, but
the dialect is decidedly military and not useful for much else. In addition to the above, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakh, Kirgiz, Tajik and Turkmen, most (75%) speak
Arabic as a second native language. These six countries are also predominately Muslim and with the collapse of discipline many of these troops are practicing
their religion openly.
USA: Issue weapons: M4 carbine, M16A2 assault rifle, FN-Minimi (M249) automatic rifle, M24 sniper rifle, FN-MAG (M240G) machinegun, and Beretta
M-92SB (M9) pistol.
A common joke among Europeans is, “Americans can only speak English.” This is actually somewhat true. Some second-generation immigrants speak
the language their parents brought from their native country. This is especially true of Mexican-Americans who get both Spanish and English as native. French,
German and Spanish is taught in most American secondary schools and colleges. Most American service personnel can speak a little German, but few really
speak it well.

cOnVeRSiOn nOteS: Civilians (unavailable under the original rules) pay double price for military equipment. Soldiers pay half price for weapons issued
by their own nation. Thus, an American soldier would pay half price for an M16A2, but would pay normal price for an L85A1. Some vehicles may be available at a
reduced cost, check with your gamemaster. Don’t forget your patron roll! One simple dice roll may be all that is standing between you and that M1A3 you’re

Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Terminal: Tactical satellite
communications terminals have been developed by the US, UK, Soviet Union
and many other nations. These man-portable devices provide line of sight
(LOS) links to orbital relay satellites (the Defense Satellite Communications
System, for the US). SATCOM communications are unaffected by atmospheric
disturbances, and are highly reliable due to their frequency range and LOS
transmission pattern. Some SATCOM systems are capable of burst
transmissions. SATCOM can only be used while the relay satellite is in LOS of
the transmitter; this means that communication must be at preset times.
Newer models can function as computer modems, and provide limited LOS
AM/FM radio transmission as well. Standard communications security
(COMSEC) encryption devices can be attached to SATCOM terminals. Many
satellites are no longer functioning, so SATCOM radios are becoming rarer as
their utility drops. The SATCOM operates for 4 hours on a 231 kWs lead-acid
battery. $3,500, 8 lb.

12 of 41 Revision of 10Aug18
 Single-Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS):
SINCGARS represents the latest defense against enemy signal interception on
the battlefield. During a transmission, SINCGARS hops between 2300
frequencies at a rate of 100 hops per second. The sequence for this hopping
is programmed into the radio according to the operations order; and may
change over the course of a mission. This makes it extremely difficult to
monitor SINCGARS radio traffic. These radios can be equipped with normal
COMSEC encryption devices for additional security. SINCGARS come in a
variety of configurations, from portable to vehicle mounted. The backpack
version uses a 231 kWs lead-acid battery, which powers it for 12 hours. Its
effective range can reach 35 miles, depending on power source, terrain and
atmospheric conditions, but normal range is 20 miles. $6,500, 15 lb.
Tactical Beacon (TACBE): A TACBE is usually part of an air-crew’s
survival kit, acting as a homing beacon for rescue teams. It can also be used
for short-range (one mile or less) LOS radio transmissions with aircraft, ground
radios, or even other TACBE units. Its versatility and light weight make it a
favorite for long-term reconnaissance missions in many special ops units.
Operates for 15 hours on am 18 kWs advanced battery. $350, 2 lb.
dRUGS and tRade GOOdS:
Beer: Beer is still being brewed widely; its main vice is the fact that it
consumes edible food to make. This does not, however, keep it from being
made in fairly large quantities. Bottle, $3, 1 lb.
Chewing Tobacco: Shredded tobacco that is chewed by the user. It is
not ingested, if a character eats some, roll versus HT-2 to avoid nausea. One
tin of chewing tobacco contains three days worth of tobacco. A tin costs $150,
¼ lb.
Cigars: One cigar will give a tobacco addict his daily dose, but he has to
put it out after smoking a third of it and re-light it later. Poor quality, $40, neg.
Good quality, $50, neg. “Cuban” quality, $75, neg.
Cigarettes: To feed that nicotine addiction. Three cigarettes are required
to meet a tobacco addict’s daily requirement. A carton contains ten packs and
costs $4,000, 2 lb. A pack contains 20 cigarettes, $400, ¼ lb. ea. Single
cigarette, $20, neg.
Cocaine: Cocaine is very expensive, illegal and totally addictive. Three
doses of ¼ gram each are required daily to prevent withdrawal. An addict will
want more than this however and should make a will roll every four hours to
avoid taking another dose. This only applies if the user is trying to make his
supply last. While the effect lasts (4 hours per dose) the user will have the high
pain threshold advantage and will not be affected by fatigue, but keep track of
how much fatigue the user should have taken! This fatigue will “hit” after the
dose wears off. If the amount of fatigue the user accumulates exceeds his FP,
begin taking fatigue out of HP, this effect is immediate, but the user doesn’t
notice since “it doesn’t hurt”. The user also suffers from the delusion “I am
invincible!” until the drug wears off. 1 g costs $1,200 .
Hard Liquor: Gin, scotch, vodka, whiskey and a host of others. These
are specific types of alcohol valued for their flavor, not mere grain alcohol (see
fuel). One liter current bottling $10, 2 lb. One liter pre-war bottling $1,000, 2
lb.
Heroin: Heroin is very expensive, incapacitating, illegal and totally
addictive. Three doses of (0.3 grams times the number of months the person
has been addicted if taken nasally, 0.1 grams times the number of months the
user has been addicted if taken intravenously) each are required daily to avoid
the effects of withdrawal. The user will be useless for work or combat. The
effects of a dose last for three hours and the user must make a Will –3 roll to
avoid taking another dose as soon as the previous dose wears off. Heroin is
easy to overdose on, if the user takes ST x 10 grams nasally, or ST grams
intravenously the user must roll HT-7 to avoid death. Nasal overdose takes
about an hour and if the user receives atropine he will recover immediately. IV
overdoses are almost instantaneous, the user is found with the needle still in
his arm. 1 g costs $1,500 .
LSD: LSD or acid can be made from rye bread mold, now fairly common
since preservatives are no longer commonly used in food preparation. LSD is
incapacitating, hallucinogenic, cheap and illegal. The user will be out of service
for six hours per dose ingested. The first dose will take about thirty minutes to
exPLOSiVeS (See P. b414-415):
The explosives listed here are the US Army standard items. Other nations
use similar, if not identical equipment.
Blasting Caps: Blasting caps are used to detonate explosive charges.
The M11 Electric Blasting Cap attaches via integral 30’ wires to a blasting
Tactical Headset Radio: These improved walkie-talkies consist of an
earplug and a slim mouthpiece. They are used on hostage-rescue and other
Close Quarters Battle (CQB) missions, and are often attached to the operator’s
helmet. Advanced models feature scrambling, voice activation and a nearly
invisible microphone taped to the user’s throat. Observers must make a Vision
roll to notice a concealed tactical headset. These devices allow
communications at ranges of up to a half-mile. Operates for 3 hours on a 1.8
kWs advanced battery. A full-featured tactical headset like this is $400,
negligible weight. Civilian versions without scrambling or concealability cost
$50, and have a range of only 150 yards.
UTEL Underwater Radio: A UTEL system allows communication
underwater. Operators can communicate at ranges of up to 2000 yards,
provided they have a direct LOS. Range drops to 500 yards or less if there are
any obstructions between the sets. Since most underwater breathing
apparatus prevents speech, Morse code must be used (use Electronics
Operation/TL8 (Communications) p. B189). The device is nearly neutrally
buoyant. Operates for 12 hours on a 432 kWs lead-acid battery. $5,000, 20 lb.
Vehicular Radios: All vehicle radios are already factored into the price of
the vehicle. This is a change from the original rules.
take effect. Acid is relatively easy to walk away from once you’ve become
addicted, +2 to withdrawal rolls. One dose of LSD will tide over the average
addict for a day. Unlike many drugs it is relatively safe to “overdose”, this will
merely increase the time the hallucination lasts. The danger lies in forgetting
things like eating, drinking and sleeping while under the effects of the drug.
Roll vs. Will –5 to remember. One dose $10, neg.
Marijuana: Marijuana is fairly expensive, incapacitating and illegal. Oddly
enough, marijuana is now easier to find than tobacco, this is because pot can
be grown locally. Seeds for tobacco are not often found in a carton of
cigarettes. Marijuana or pot has similar effects as alcohol, but is smoked like a
cigarette. Soviet and WP personnel seem avoid this drug better than others for
some reason. One cigarette of marijuana or “joint” will satisfy an addict for one
day. One kilo $75,000, 2.2 lb. Ounce bag (enough to make 20 “joints”) $1,500,
1 oz. One joint $75, neg.
Morphine: A highly refined form of opium, morphine is a liquid that is
administered intravenously. It is a medicinal drug as well as a “recreational
pharmaceutical”. When used as medicine, it relives the user of all pain. This
gives a +2 to First Aid or Physician skills to treat injuries since the patient will
not be writhing in agony. When used for recreation it gives the user the High
Pain Threshold advantage and a delusion “Everything is just fine, no matter
how bad it seems.” One dose lasts for an hour. Morphine is totally addictive,
illegal and expensive. $150, neg.
Opium: The original form of morphine and heroin. Opium is a paste that
is taken orally. One dose lasts for two hours. Opium is expensive,
incapacitating, totally addictive and illegal. 1 g costs $500 .
Soda: Sugar-laden carbonated beverage. Some Americans have been
known to trade almost anything for a can of “pop”. Many will also have a
strong opinion about which brand is valuable and which is worthless, especially
the pre-war colas. Locally manufactured varieties come in a limited range of
flavors, ginger beer, ginger ale, sassafras, and root beer being most common.
Local manufacture: 2 liter plastic bottle $10, 4.3 lb. 1 liter plastic bottle $5, 2.2
lb. 0.4 liter glass bottle $2 1 lb. Pre-war manufacture: 2 liter plastic bottle:
Cola $500, 4.3 lb. Other $100 4.3 lb. 1 liter plastic bottle: Cola $250, 2.2 lb.
Other $50, 2.2 lb. 12 oz aluminum can: $15, 1 lb.
Speed: Includes amphetamine, ephedrine and phenylpropanolamine
(PPA). Speed will cause the user to be alert and awake for the duration of the
dose, but will incur double penalties for fatigue and lack of sleep. A single dose
will take effect in HTx2 minutes and will last five hours. Speed is not addictive,
but is often abused by people to avoid sleeping or to “get more work done”.
$30, neg. wt. per dose (two pills).
Toilet Tissue: Useful for cleaning remote areas. Feels MUCH better than
leaves. $100, ¼ lb. per roll.
Wine: Although less common than beer, wine is still produced in
reasonably large quantities. Bottle $10, 2 lb.
machine. The M14 Non-Electric Blasting cap is ignited via a 7.5’ fuse ( burns
for less than four minutes). Does 1d-3 on its own. Box of six, $10, 0.25 lb.
Demolition Kit: A portable set of tools for placing and using explosives,
including blasting cap crimpers, pliers, knife, wire stripper, electrical tape, duct
tape, wire and manual with structural strengths. $400, 5 lb.
13 of 41 Revision of 10Aug18
 Detonating Cord: Usually called “det cord,” this is a 0.2” plastic tube with
a core of PETN explosive with an REF of 1.66 (p.B415). It transmits a
detonating wave from a blasting cap to an explosive charge at near
instantaneous speed. If det cord wrapped around an object it is considered to
be in contact with that object, giving maximum possible damage. $0.10, 0.02
lb. per foot. $50, 11 lb. (500’, including spool).
Dynamite: 1/2 Stick (7d+2 cr ex): $10, ½ lb.
Full Stick (5dx2 cr ex): $20, 1 lb.
Case of 50 sticks: $1000, 65 lb.
Fuse: For use with non-electric blasting caps. Time Fuse burns 30
seconds per foot. Instant fuse is almost instantaneous. Ignited by flame (e.g.,
a match or the M81 fuse igniter). $10, 1 lb. (per 50’ coil).
M4A1 Trigger Device: Multiple use detonator, which can be set for
push/pull, release pressure, etc., to trigger a booby trap (-3 to Vision rolls).
$10, 0.15 lb.
fOOd: Per day.
MRE: Pre-packed high calorie “survival” food. Despite the grumbling,
MREs are actually well liked. If stored in a cool dry place, MREs will remain
edible for five years. $12, 3 lb.
Domestic: Commercially produced civilian food packed in cans,
“Preserves” packed in mason jars and C-rations all qualify as domestic food. If
stored properly, domestic food will remain edible for two years. $8, 4 lb.

minutes. It comes in liquid form only. One unit costs $10 and has negligible
weight. Bottles vary in size from 1 to 20cc.
Antibiotic: Comes in three varieties (plus, minus, and neutral) and two
forms (liquid and oral). A typical dose is one pill or 5cc. Three to six doses per
day are required to eliminate bacterial infections. The oral form must have the
doses spread out over the entire day; the liquid form can be given in one
massive dose every day. Use will stop the loss of HT and will give a +1 per
day taken to the HT roll to recover from the disease. Antibiotics are ineffective
against viral infections. This is why Herpes cannot be treated with Penicillin,
but Syphilis can. Bacterial infections are only affected by ONE variety of
antibiotics. The specific variety depends on the disease and the strain. For
example there may be two different strains of Syphilis, one may be effected by
neutral and the other by plus. One dose of the oral form costs $5 and has
negligible weights. Bottles come in sizes from 24 to 500 doses. One dose of
liquid costs $10 and has negligible weight. Bottles come in sizes from 10 to
50cc and must be refrigerated.

to his HT roll to recover from the disease and will reduce the effects on ST, DX
and IQ by one. One dose costs $5 and has negligible weight.
Atropine: Counteracts the effects of nerve gas. Atropine is also used as
a last ditch effort to restart a heart. 35cc are required to counter nerve gas.
Doses this large are dangerous to the user, who will have a –3 penalty to all
stats until the counter agent is administered, the counter agent (included in the
price) must be administered between ten and twenty seconds after the
atropine. If this is not done, the atropine will cause 1d+3 damage and the
subject will be at –4 to ST, DX and IQ until this damage is healed. Less than
one cc is used to restart the heart. 15cc can counteract an overdose of heroin
or cocaine. Atropine comes in 20cc bottles and costs $5 per cc with negligible
weight. Auto injector packs containing one 35cc automatic syringe of Atropine

Hughes Aircraft AN/PAQ-3 Modular Universal Laser Equipment
(MULE): A MULE is a laser target designator used to direct laser-guided
munitions onto a target. It can be mounted on an M122 or M122A1tripod or
aimed from the shoulder. Many precision air attacks require targeting by a
MULE or similar system. The MULE can pinpoint stationary targets out to 5000
yards and moving targets out to 3000 yards. As with a laser rangefinder, the
operator must have a clear line of sight to the target and must roll vs.
Electronics Operation/TL8 (Sensors). A laser designator is designed to
illuminate (“paint”) targets with a laser beam. The beam is coded so that
friendly, semi-active laser homing missiles and bombs will be able to sense the
beam and home in on it. Each laser designator can paint only one target at a
time. To illuminate a target, the designator must be in line of sight of the target,
and the operator must take continuous Aim maneuvers until the munitions hit.
A laser designator cannot work through smoke, thick fog, snowstorms or water.
A laser designator beam is normally invisible. However, a target with a
radar/laser detector (V p. 59) may be able to sense both the beam and the
location of the designator. 3 mile range. Powered by an integral 4kWs
advanced battery, it will operate continuously for 10 minutes. $218,000, 42 lb.
ITT Industries AN/PVS-5 Night Vision Goggles: A typical example

Colorblindness and Tunnel Vision. Hand-held or helmet mounted gives Night
Vision 9, Colorblindness, No Depth Perception and No Peripheral Vision.
Operates for 4 hours on two N-Cell batteries. $3,500, 1.6 lb.
Insight Technology Inc. AN/PAQ-4C Infrared Aiming Light: This device
produces a target-marking beam similar to that of a standard laser sight except
that it is infrared, thus invisible to the naked eye. The targeting dot can only be
seen through passive infrared or thermographic sensors; as a result, it is an
effective tool for night combat, but fairly useless under most other conditions.
The AN/PAQ-4C is designed for use with the M16 or M4, but can be adapted to
the M60, M240G, M249 and M2HB machineguns. Operates for 30 minutes of
continuous use on an 18 kWs advanced battery. Gives +1 to skill. See p.

with accessory rails. Operates for 4 hours on two AA-Cell alkaline batteries.
$6,000, 4.7 lb.
NPZ 1P21 PO3-9x42: A 3-9x magnification scope with an illuminated
reticle calibrated for 7.62x54mmR for the SVD. It nominally replaces the PSO-
1 in service. The 1P21 has an interesting bullet drop compensation feature
which is tied to changing the magnification. The user operates the rangefinder
reticule then sets the range shown on a dial in the scope to match, this
increase and decreases the magnification depending on range. $1,000, 2.4 lb.
Effectively only 1x of the magnification can be used per 100 yards, so
ranges of 200 or less will be +1 acc, 400 or less +2 and 800 or more +3.
NPZ 1P21 PO4-12x42: The replacement for the 1P21 PO3-9x42 scope.
It has more magnification with 4-12x, it is otherwise identical. $1,100, 2.5 lb.

versions calibrated for 5.45x39mm, 7.62x39mm and 7.62x54mmR. It is 4
power (+2 to Acc) and mounts to the side rail on the receiver. The reticule is
battery illuminated. $400, 1.3 lb.
Optic Electronic Corp. of Dallas AN/PVS-4 STANO: A typical example
of a second generation image intensification weapon sight, the AN/PVS-4 is an
Improved Night Sight (See High Tech p. 156) and gives +1 to Acc, Night Vision
5, Colorblindness and -1 to the weapons Bulk. Operates for 1 hour on an
internal 144kWs advanced battery. See also p.SO98. $4,800, 4 lb.
PCO PCS-5: A 2.4x Improved Night Sight (See High Tech p. 156) for the
wz.88 or AK rifle. The sight gives +1 to Acc, Night Vision 7, Colorblindness,
Tunnel Vision and adds -1 Bulk. Operates for 12 hours on 1 K-316
rechargeable battery. $1,500, 3 lb.
Portable Coincidence Rangefinder: Allows gunners to estimate
distances using a system of specially mounted 6x telescopes. The operator
looks through the eyepiece and will see two images of the target. He then
adjusts the images until they coincide, creating one image. The range is then
read off of a gauge in the mount. $600, 18 lb.
PZO NSP-3: Largely replaced in Polish service by the PCS-5, the NSP-3
was a first generation 3.5x Night Sight (See High Tech p. 156) for the Kbk
wz.88 but it will also fit any AK series rifle. The sight gives +1 to Acc, Night
Vision 4, Color Blindness, Tunnel Vision and adds -2 Bulk. Because this scope
lacks an automatic shut-off to protect the tube from damage from bright lights
very few are still in operable condition. Operates for 3 hours on a special NSP-
3 4.5v battery. $900, 6 lb.
Radio Corporation AN/GVS-5 Laser Rangefinder: This lightweight
device resembles a pair of binoculars. It is used to determine the range to a
man-sized or smaller object – usually to verify the location of targets for artillery
or air strikes. It is effective out to 9,990 yards. It takes one second and a roll
against Electronics Operation/TL8 (Sensors) to determine the range to a target.
The operator must have a clear line of sight to the target; smoke or dust in the
atmosphere gives –1 to –10 to the roll (GM’s decision). An internal 18 kWs
advanced battery gives 10,000 ranging “shots”. $5,400, 5 lb.
RARDE SUSAT Scope: “Sight Unit Small Arms Trilux”, a refined version
of the earlier SUIT developed for the L85 and L86 Individual Weapon system.
The 4x power scope's reticule is illuminated with a vial of tritium allowing the
sight to be used in low light conditions. Gives +2 to Acc, and +3 to avoid
darkness penalties, the SUSAT is extremely rugged, giving a –2 on the damage
table. In addition to the magnification, the sight is also a collimating sight. A
set of emergency iron sights are built into the top of the scope, giving Acc –3
when used, which is better than no sights at all if the scope has been broken.
The mount for the SUSAT is built into the weapon and requires an Armorer –3
roll to adapt to another weapon. $400, 0.9 lb.
Raytheon AN/PAS-13B: The US military’s primary thermal imaging
weapon sight. It has a 5x magnification (+2 to Acc) treat as a TL8 Advanced
Thermal-Imaging Sight (see High Tech p. 157). It is powered for 5 hours by a
75 kWs lithium battery. $20,000, 4.5 lb.
Raytheon W1000: Similar to the AN/PAS-13B, but designed to be
mounted in front of an existing scope. $20,000, 3.3 lb.
