Commando
Paladin P.B.A.
Powered body armour (P.B.A.) consists of layered steel
covering an exoskeleton which allows the wearer to
move with little or no encumbrance. Power is derived
from a small nuclear fusion reactor in the back of the
armour which drives a hydraulic turbine and electrical
generator. The armour adds strength to a Trooper and
allows them to carry heavier weapons and unique
armour options. It is environmentally sealed and comes
in different designs with trade- offs between cost,
speed, protection and various options.
Paladin armour is the happy medium between heavy
protection and good mobility. Although it does not
enhance a Trooper’s speed, it does allow one to move as
if almost unencumbered. For indoor combat it is
typically outfitted with the 360-degree camera option,
High frequency com unit and auto-grey face plate.
LZ9 Blaster
This high- gain plasma weapon is also connected to the
armour’s power pack. The plasma is placed into a
magnetic bottle which is fired out of the weapon as a
bolt. While the damage is not as great as the Plasma
Projector, range and accuracy is improved. It’s reliability
has been proven under fire and it is now the standard
issue to UNE Commandos.

T19 Forcewall Grenade
This small device is designed specifically for indoor
combat. When set off it creates a magnetic energized
force field approximately two meters in diameter. This
field can withstand heavy impacts and is typically used
for quick escapes, cover from fire or to slow up enemy
troops. Designed as a one-shot device, the solid energy
core and generating equipment generally burn out after
a few minutes, well after the end of most engagements.
Issued one per Trooper with Blaster, it is used
judiciously.
The Forcewall blocks movement and LOF. Once
detonated, it remains on the board until destroyed.
Forcewalls can be shot down; They have an Armour
Modifier of +1 and require one hit to destroy.
If a Forcewall is created in a square occupied by a figure
the figure is pushed to an unoccupied adjacent square.
Both players roll two dice. The player with the higher
total chooses to which open square the figure is moved.
If there is no such square then the figure is eliminated.
E.g. when occupied by another figure, door or wall
When a figure is "pushed" by the Forcewall grenade it
maintains in the same facing and loses its fire action if it
has not yet taken one; a Fired counter is placed beside it.
SX111 Kinetic Pulse Grenade
Using gravitational inversion, the K- pulse grenade emits
a strong concussion wave outward in a circular area. The
impact strength decreases as the wave moves further
from the point of detonation. Although this could kill a
normal human at a range of 20 meters, it has little or no
effect on heavily armoured personnel beyond 6 meters.
K-Pulse: Area of effect weapon rules are used for this
round. The HIT number is determined by the range of
the figure from the impact square. The diagonal rule
applies. One die is rolled for each figure or other target
in these squares to determine any HITs. The HIT
numbers for the various ranges are given below.
point or starting area.
COMMANDO HEAVY WEAPON TROOPER
Armed with the Plasma Projector, the Commando Heavy
Weapon Trooper provides vital close range support for
commando operations.

X32 PLASMA PROJECTOR

This weapon consists of a hand unit connected to the
armour’s back mounted fusion pack. Plasma (super
heated water broken down into its component particles)
is drawn directly from the power pack into the hand unit.
A magnetic field then fires these charged particles in a
spray. This wash of plasma has a wide area of fire and
does tremendous damage but has limited range. The
Plasma Projector is the standard support weapon of the
UNE Commandos.

3
 This R.X.S. has an Armour Modifier of +1 and requires 2
hits to be eliminated. Due to the Behemoth's size, other
figures incur a roll modifier of +2 when firing past it.

The AutoRAM and AutoGL have a forward arc of fire. The

4 SPLATs each cover one arc of fire. The CDPs have a
front, rear and appropriate side arc (left or right
dependant upon what shoulder it is mounted on)

The Behemoth has an Independent Targeting System

(ITS) which allows the figure to have three fire actions.
The first fire action used by the figure is referred to as
the "primary fire action" and is carried out normally. The
second and third fire actions are "secondary fire actions"
have a +1 Attack modifier. This fire modifier does not
apply when covering or suppressing. When the
Behemoth fires or suppresses, place the appropriate
marker onto the Behemoth template. The name of the
weapon used is covered by the counter. The same
weapon cannot be fired twice in the same turn, unless
using leadership. If the Behemoth did not use all three
fire actions, then the remaining fire actions are used to
cover. A "covering" counter is placed beside the figure
until all fire actions have been used, at which point it is

heavy assault troopers within an entire battalion, they
are deployed judiciously and only on the most vital of
operations.

Behemoth R.X.S.
R.X.S. is short for reactive exo-skeleton. It differs from
P.B.A. in size and method of control. Operating an
R.X.S. is a cross between wearing it, and riding in it.
The pilots, jokingly referred to by others as “elephant
jockeys”, fit snugly into the torso while their limbs
extended into the limbs of the unit. Gimbals and
servos detect the motions of the operator and the
R.X.S. reacts to them. The Behemoth provides the
ultimate in personal protection and can mount several
weapons controlled by an independent targeting
system (I.T.S). The I.T.S. can identify, lock on to and
engage targets with minimal operator assistance.

4
XDX- 211 Scattered Plasma Assault System
Nicknamed the SPLAT, this is a single shot plasma
discharger. The blast is directional, affecting a wide area
similar to a claymore mine. It can be used defensively to
protect vehicles or positions from massed attacks. When
used offensively the carrying unit (fast attack vehicle or
R.X.S.) detonates it after charging into the centre of a
thickly occupied enemy position. A complete SPLAT is in
sets of 4 dischargers(one for each arc of fire).
Each discharger of the SPLAT (left, right, front, aft) is a
single shot device which affects all targets in that arc.
The HIT number is equal to the range plus 1. There are
no roll modifiers used with the SPLAT so the HIT number
remains the same regardless of the targets armour, the

presence of a Nachtmacher or whether the firing figure
walked, ran, remained stationary or is covering. A SPLAT
cannot be used to suppress, automatic fire or snap fire.
As mentioned, the dischargers are individual one-shot
weapons. A separate fire action is required to fire each
one, after which it cannot be used again. A player may
also use the "Grand Slam" option where all four
dischargers are fired simultaneously with only one fire
action.
BS- 2 Automatic Grenade Launcher
With a belt feed, good range and large ammo capacity,
the Auto-G.L. can be found mounted on R.X.S. and
vehicles or in static positions. Usually loaded with Plas
grenades it can employ the infamous “double tap”
(auto-fire) to wipe out groups of targets.
X64 Plasma Grenade
With a larger area of effect than a K-pulse,
the Plas grenade is normally employed in
open areas. It is equally effective against light
or heavily armoured troops due to the
armour piercing nature of the plasma
fragments. Its compact design allows it to be
thrown by hand or fired from a grenade
launcher.
This grenade has a HIT number of 5+ in the
impact square and 6+ out to a range of 3
spaces. Due to the armour-piercing nature of
the plasma fragments, general modifiers for
the target do not apply.
XL27 Close Defence Plasma Weapon
This stripped-down Plasma Projector, known
as the CDP, is mounted on RXS and vehicles
as an antipersonnel weapon. It is usually
installed on a swivel mount which allows a
wider fire arc. The Behemoth RXS has one of
these weapons mounted on each shoulder.
UNE Recce Commando
These men and women are the reconnaissance force of
a UNE Commando company. It is the Recce Commandos’
job to scout ahead of front-line troops and gain essential
information on enemy positions, strengths, facilities and
communications. These troops are typically organized
into patrols consisting of a corporal or sergeant, and
three troopers. They are issued the standard LZ9 blaster
and two Forcewall grenades. As light reconnaissance
troops, Recce Commandos are expected to fight for
information. They are therefore outfitted with the fast
and light Pathfinder PBA and generally carry no support
weapons. Using speed to their advantage they can
outflank or outmaneuver opponents and retreat from
the battle zone with the information they have gained.
Pathfinder P.B.A.
This armour is built light and fast. Although not affording
the protection of Paladin PBA, a trooper in Pathfinder
has speed on his side. An enhanced sensor and scanner
suite is normally incorporated into the armour to aid in
reconnaissance, surveillance and electronic warfare
operations. Pathfinder suits not including the
cumbersome commando options are usually equipped
with rocket jets allowing short distance flight.

6
 RAM LASER
The Rolachev Augmentation Module, designed by Russian
scientist Yuri Rolachev, gives inertia and force to photons.
This breakthrough increased the range and penetration
capability of lasers. The high energy usage and capacitor
charge time limits rate of fire, but good range and
penetration has made it the primary weapon of non-
commando powered troops.

WRIST ROCKETS
Short range with a relatively powerful high-explosive
warhead, Wrist Rockets are affixed to the forearms of
powered armour to provide extra fire power at close
range. Each rocket is individually mounted.

This is a single shot device. Multiple Wrist Rockets allow

the figure to use automatic fire. The Ironside for
instance, has four which allows 4 shots using normal fire
or 2 using automatic fire.

CONCUSSION GAUNTLETS
These are energy dischargers built into the knuckles of
powered armour suits. They create a localized effect
similar to that of a K-pulse grenade in hand to hand
combat.

This HTH CBT weapon has an ROF of 2 and HIT number

of 4+.
ASSAULT TROOPER
Each battalion's combat support company has a force of
soldiers equipped with heavy powered armour and
weapons. Assaulting a position is no mean task and these
soldiers are used when the defence is stiffest and the
stakes are highest. They do not rely on speed and
finesse. Superior armour gets them in; superior
firepower gets them out. The bulk of these soldiers are
Assault Troopers. They are equipped with a RAM Laser,
Wrist Rockets and a Grenade Launcher.

Assault troopers are not commandos nor vice versa.

They are two specialized types of powered infantry who
sometimes work together.

IRONSIDE P.B.A.
With construction similar to Paladin PBA, the Ironside
design places more emphasis on protection and less on
mobility. This additional protection allows troops to
sustain fewer casualties while advancing through open
terrain in spite of their slower movement.

7
 This one shot device is used to clear Wall Rockets. The
Pioneer selects a line of fire within his front arc. A die is
rolled for each Wall Rocket within 3 squares of the
Copperhead's line of fire. The rocket will be set off unless
a "1" is rolled. A figure occupying one of the three
squares directly in front of the activated rocket will be
attacked with a HIT number of 4+. If more than one
possible target is available, the rocket will fire at the
closest figure.

DX IE3 SATCHEL CHARGE

These are shaped charges of C9 explosive with a
safety tamping shroud. Its primary uses are for clearing
large mounds of rubble or destroying walls and doors. It

SUPPORT TROOPERS
While the Heavy Weapon Trooper gives a section that
extra "oomph" in terms of firepower, Support Troopers
are a platoon resource. They provide a Commando
platoon with long-range direct-fire support and limited
anti-vehicle/anti-air capabilities. They are outfitted in
Paladin PBA and are typically armed with either the
Flechette gun or the Carl-G Mk IV. Support Troopers are
almost always accompanied by their Loader.
COMMANDO LOADER
Heavy weapons such as the Carl-G or Flechette Gun are
too cumbersome for a single trooper to carry the
weapon and additional ammunition. Loaders accompany
support weapons to allow for sustained fire or extended
combat. They also provide close defence for the gunners
who are usually preoccupied with long-range or group
targets. The loader is also outfitted in Paladin PBA.
Loaders operate in Paladin P.B.A. and carry 4 reloads for
the Support Trooper they operate with. To reload a
weapon, the loader and Support Trooper must be
adjacent. Both must remain stationary and spend a fire
action.
CARL GUSTAV MARK IV
This is the modern version of the Swedish made, man
portable, anti-tank gun. With high technology
incorporated into the sighting electronics and the
ammunition, the Carl-G regained its place as a standard
battlefield support weapon. In its present form the
weapon incorporates electronic sighting and an auto-
loading magazine fed action. The firer has the flexibility
of selecting the appropriate ammunition for the
situation.
The player selects a line of fire and a range. Roll one die
and add this to the range to determine the detonation
square (there is no roll required to actually hit the
square). If the detonation square lays beyond a door or
Forcewall the said door or Forcewall becomes the
detonation square. If this obstruction is not destroyed
the HIT zone does not extend beyond it. If it is destroyed
an additional +2 modifier is applied. The HIT zone of this
round extends 10 squares from the detonation square
along the LOF. Any figure in the LOF is affected. The base
HIT number is 3+. All Armour and LOF modifiers are used
except for the Nachtmacher modifier and they are
determined from the detonation square rather than the
launching figure's square.
H.E.A.P. Round: This is a high explosive armour piercing
shell. It is designed to take out larger, more heavily
armoured opponents out to long ranges. Its
effectiveness is limited indoors, but none the less it
comes in handy in certain circumstances.
General modifiers are not used. This round eliminates
any figure it scores a HIT on.
K-Pulse Round: This round are heavier versions of the

K-Pulse Grenade rules are used for this rounds Hit
Number.
AM5-4 FLEHETTE GUN
This is a heavy magnetic accelerator rifle usually carried
by fire support troopers. It fires high density armour
piercing needles at a high cyclic rate. The weapon's good
range and an excellent rate of fire makes up for its
limited penetration.

This weapon uses 5 round magazines. The rules used are

dependant on the type of round fired, but none the less
it can never auto fire or suppress. A Commando carrying
the weapon has 5 rounds. A loader is required if the
player wants to have additional ammunition. The Three
rounds are listed below.

C.A.R.P. Round: This round is designed to take out a

large number of enemy. After being fired the round
travels to its detonation point and then explodes
outward sending thin shards of density increased metal
over an extended area.

 LEGIONS OF STEEL
G1 Nightmare
These humanoid, skeletal robots are the cannon fodder
of the Legions of Steel. They have little independent
thought and are generally controlled by the Overlord
Computer or more advanced robot types. Untold
numbers of these have been produced. Typically,
Nightmares are armed with Deadbolt Launchers and a
Nachtmacher grenade but can be outfitted with a
variety of weaponry.
M- 1 Deadbolt Launcher
This is the standard weapon for the Nightmare robots
fielded by the Legions of Steel. This sophisticated
firearm fires a collapsed steel round. Although in close
quarter fighting it is inferior to the LZ9 Blaster it has
better accuracy at longer ranges. A large amount of
Commandos and other soldiers have met their maker
due to this ubiquitous weapon.
M- G1 Nachtmacher Grenade
Nachtmacher is German for “night maker”. The
grenade creates a six-meter diameter globe of utter
blackness. When detonated, it creates a field which
absorbs all light energy in the visible spectrum as well
as infrared and ultraviolet. Issued mainly to Nightmare
robots, it is utilized in an attack to cover their advance
or on the defense to protect their moving forces.
Nachtmacher, or “Night Maker,” grenades create a field
of darkness which affects LOF in the target square and
the eight squares surrounding it. The effect lasts until
the end of the Machine player’s next turn. The player
rolls to hit as normal, and the Nachtmacher counter is
placed with its Turn 1 side up on the target square.
11
Opposing figures firing through, into, or out of, one or
more darkened squares do so at a +2 LOF Modifier.
G1A NIGHTMARE
The G1A consists of a G1(bis) 2-handed frame, carrying
an M-2 Scattergun for close or indoor combat, and a
single Nachtmacher grenade. These units were
developed to clear out concentrations of enemy from
the narrow confines of Machine production facilities.
They are commonly encountered in Advanced Internal
Security Hordes, but it is still not uncommon to also find
them fighting out of doors in a building clearing capacity
(or in close terrain, forests, jungles, etc).
M-2 SCATTERGUN
This Machine shotgun fires a spray of collapsed steel
flechette in rapid succession. In terms of firepower, this
weapon falls short of the UNE Blaster but still provides a
boost over a Nightmare's Deadbolt Launcher. The
Scattergun is particularly devastating to targets not
equipped with powered body armour.
G1B NIGHTMARE
This Nightmare frame carries the "Thumper" in place of
the Deadbolt Launcher.
M-B1 THUMPER
With multiple ammo bays this weapon has genuine
versatility. These bays are set up on a rotating platform
so that the most appropriate grenade for the situation
can be selected.
It is designed to fire the Prometheus, Nachtmacher and
Disruptor grenades. It holds ten grenades which can be
mixed and matched. Use the appropriate grenade rules
upon impact. The G1B Nightmare variant carries the
Thumper.
G1C NIGHTMARE
This Nightmare frame carries the Nega Sphere Generator
in place of the Deadbolt Launcher.
M-X7 NEGA SPHERE GENERATOR
This projector unit creates a 2 meter diameter ball of
negative energy. Once fired the "Nega Sphere" moves in
the direction of launch until burning out or striking a
large solid object such as a wall. It is carried by the G1C
Nightmare variant.
When fired, a Nega Sphere counter is placed in front of
the firing figure. During the end segment, it moves. Roll
2 dice to determine how many squares it moves. If a 9 to
12 is rolled then the sphere dissipates at the end of its
move. Any figure struck by the sphere receives a HIT on
a 3+ (only Armour modifiers apply). If the sphere
encounters a solid object such as a door, Forcewall or
wall, it will make a 90 degree turn and continue along an
unobstructed path.
If the squares to the left and right are both open, the
sphere will move randomly (roll one die and on a 1-3 the
sphere turns left, on a 4-6 it turns right). If a dead end is
encountered, the sphere will impact with a random
square (roll one die and on a 1-2 the left square, 2-4 the
square directly ahead and 5-6 the right square).
Impact with a wall disperses a Nega sphere. If a
Forcewall or door is not destroyed, the sphere disperses
and is removed. Any fire through a Nega Sphere receives
a +1 LOS modifier. A figure may not fire a Nega Sphere
generator if it is locked in hand to hand combat.
Mark I Assault Fiend
This hulking demonic featured robot stands three
meters tall. It’s typical weaponry includes the Napalm- X
Flame Weapon with bayonet and a Power Trident.
Heavily armed and armoured, it is ultra-deadly at close
range. It’s intellect is more sophisticated than the
Nightmare and is usually assigned 8 to 10 under its
control.
M- 4 Napalm- X Flame Weapon:
This high- tech flame thrower is a terror when used
against lightly armoured opponents. It’s high rate of
fire of a super-heated sodium compound can sup-
press large areas and take out several soldiers at once.
It’s effective range is short, but as an indoor weapon it
is excellent. It is mainly issued to the medium sized
robots such as the Mark I or Mark II Assault Fiend.
M- H2 Power Trident:
This hand to hand weapon is issued in limited numbers.
It is generally issued to medium size Machines for
indoor defense. The energy discharger built into the
head of the weapon allows it to rip through even the
heaviest of personal armour.
12
C1 “Succubot” Command and Control Robot
Named for its bizarre, feminine appearance, the
Succubot is the Machines’ answer to the Human
sergeant. Its leadership capabilities allow it to augment
the mobility, firepower and tactical flexibility of the
robots it commands.
Succubots, however, are not nearly as common as
sergeants (proportionately anyways). Usually, the
Overlord computer or a sub-processing unit will control
a horde, providing leadership when necessary. In cases
where units are out of contact or where they require
additional support, Succubots will be assigned. A
Succubot is faster than, although not as heavily
armoured as a Nightmare. The Deadbolt carbine is
inferior to the Deadbolt launcher, but the Spaz rocket
system gives the Succubot a devastating one- punch
ability.
M- 1A2 Deadbolt Carbine
This lighter version of the Deadbolt launcher has a
shorter barrel, a smaller magazine and is usually in a
trigger grip configuration rather than a hard point elbow
mount. While an inferior weapon to the Deadbolt
launcher, it is just as deadly at close ranges or in limited
engagements. The carbine is normally issued as a
secondary or backup weapon, or where weight
considerations become critical as with the undersized
Gremlin robot.
M- DD1 Spaz Rockets
These close in weapons are carried by robots to increase
their short range firepower or as a self defence weapon
for command or logistics figures. Each pack can fire a
single burst of two rockets which have a limited range
but good hitting power. With two rocket packs a figure
such as the Succubot can autofire. The weapon was
dubbed by commandos to describe the rocket’s bizarre painfully reduced to a pool of protoplasmic jelly.

Targets affected by the grenade are not eliminated

immediately but are marked with a "Disrupted" counter.
Thereafter, each time the figure is activated a die is
rolled. On a roll of "5" or "6" the figure is eliminated
before it can move or fire. This includes the Behemoth
RXS, even though it would normally take two HITS to
eliminate.

M-G5 Prometheus Bomb

Scientists have not had the opportunity to analyze
samples of the incendiary used in the Prometheus
Bomb due to its unstable nature. This grenade creates
a self-sustained fire ball of a limited duration, which
hinders line of sight and can eliminate units who moves
through the area.

This machine grenade projects a material into the impact

square which creates a self-sustained fireball. This
effectively suppresses the impact square for the bomb's
duration. Use standard grenade rules and place a
"Prometheus Bomb" counter on the resulting impact
square. Any figure which is in or subsequently enters the

freezes the outer layer of the target’s armour, allowing
the main penetrator to shatter it without a loss of
momentum. They are issued to Predators or larger units
such as Assault Fiends as its weight prevents it from
being carried by smaller robots.
M-G3 Disruptor Grenade
This machine grenade has an intimidation value which
far exceeds its tactical value. The discharge from the
device sets up a resonant wave in organic material which
breaks down cellular cohesiveness. Affected targets are
not usually killed immediately. The wave takes a few
moments to build up, at which point the victim is

G4 GREMLIN
Human analysts speculate that these
diminutive robots were not
specifically designed for combat. It
has been theorized that the G4 is
used as a maintenance and repair
unit which can be armed with small
weapons such as the Deadbolt
Carbine. The G4 designation in this case would be a
misnomer as it is not a general combat unit. However,
T3(the proper designation) has not gained wide usage
since these theories were formulated.
A Gremlin is considered to be the height of a kneeling
figure; therefore, an adjacent figure does not incur the
+1 modifier for firing past a G4. Up to two G4s can
occupy the same square simultaneously.
G5 STALKER
This machine is used in a pursue and destroy capacity.
While it has a heavy chassis, its quadrupedal
configuration allows higher top speeds than most other
robots.
The Stalker is Sprint capable allowing it to triple its
movement points. When sprinting it may not move
backward and turns cost 3 MP. The figure cannot fire, it
is considered to have expended its Attack action. It is
armed with a Deadbolt Launcher, Wasp Missile pack and
two Nachtmacher grenades
G6 SNIPERBOT
Reconnaissance, target designation and long-range
priority target engagement (i.e. sniping) are the main
tasks of the G6. To accomplish these it has been
outfitted with a fast, light combat frame, an enhanced
sensor suite and a WASP missile pod. The right eye
incorporates a visual and electronic scanner while the
left is a target designator. This eye can be used to guide
the WASP missiles or "paint" a target for guided
weapons from other units. This unit also carries a
Deadbolt Carbine to round out its attack capabilities.
M-DGLT W.A.S.P. MISSILE
A light multi-shot missile launcher designed to engage
armoured personnel at long range. Due to its electronic
signature targeting characteristics, any target out to 150
meters is considered to be at medium range. This is its
maximum range in a rapid fire, skirmish situation.
All ranges up to 75 squares are considered short range. It
cannot fire at a target beyond this range. Armour
modifiers are not used when calculating the HIT#.

MARK II AS5AULT FIEND
The Mark II Assault Fiend is lighter, faster and arguably
deadlier than the Mark I. This is especially true when it is
deployed with other combat units. Its command
capabilities can support machine forces while the
Thunder Lance can neutralize enemies long enough for
other machines to dispatch them. Humans engaging the
Mark II, can gain some comfort from the fact that it is
not as heavily armoured as the Mark I.
Due to the Mark Ill's size, other figures incur a roll
modifier of -2 when firing past it.
M-E2 THUNDER LANCE
This weapon is commonly affixed to the M-H4. Using an
electrical discharger, the Thunder Lance can literally
throw lightning bolts. The bolts can short out and fuse
electrical circuits with a similar effect to that of an
The Thunder Lance is an E.M.P. weapon with an ROF of 2
and capable of automatic fire. Use the chart below for
effects.
EMP Effects Chart
Roll Effect
<HIT# No effect
HIT# Dazed: -1 to fire and -2 MP until the end of the
figure's next action phase, +1 on further EMP effects.
HIT# +1 Stunned: Lose all actions and Leadership. At
the end of the figure's action phase, roll a die:1-3 figure
is dazed 4-6 figure remains stunned.
HIT# +2 Burnout: Target is immobilized. Effectively
eliminated (regardless of HITS).
MW–4 POWER HALBERD
The operating principles of this hand to hand weapon are
similar to that of the M-H2 Power Trident. It is designed to
be used two handed with a dual blade configuration. The
charged blades cut though armour with frightening ease.
MARK III ASSAULT FIEND
The Mark Ill is as heavy as an Assault Fiend gets.
Weighing in at over 2000 kilos it is also considerably
slower than the other robots of its class. This, it makes
up for by arming itself to the teeth. It has 4 manipulator
arms. In one it carries a Protoplasmic Lacerator, in
another it carries the M-B1 Thumper and the last two
lower arms carry the Hellfire Cannon. These, coupled
with its ability to simultaneously engage two targets,
make it a deadly adversary.
The Mark Ill has two fire actions. When the Mark Ill fires
or suppresses, place the appropriate marker onto the
Mark Ill template. The name of the weapon used is
covered by the counter. The same weapon can not be
fired twice in the same turn, unless using leadership. If
the Mark III did not use both fire actions then the
remaining fire actions are used to cover. A "covering"
counter is placed beside the figure until all fire actions
have been used, at which point it is replaced with a
"fired" counter. All weapons have forward firing arcs.
M-351 HELLFIRE CANNON
Using a delivery system similar to that of the Ice Rifle, the
Hellfire Cannon fires rounds containing an incendiary
material. This compound is most likely related to either
Napalm-X or Prometheus gel (see below) or possibly a
15
combination of both. Upon impact, the round shatters,
covering the target with its fiery payload. Combustion is
fast and intense, burning out in mere seconds. While the
Hellfire Cannon provides excellent firepower, its heavy
carriage and goodly sum of ammunition make it a heavy
weapon which is only carried by larger robots or used in
static emplacements.
The Hellfire Cannon can switch between 2 rounds. The
Standard Hellfire Round and the armour piercing HEAP
round which ignores Armour Modifiers.
M-H5 PROTOPLASMIC LACERATOR
This hand to hand weapon combines the deadliest
characteristics of both a power blade and a disruptor
weapon. The energy field which surrounds the blade will
curdle flesh at the slightest touch or even on a close pass.
This creates horrible wounds and can sometimes set up a
disruption effect (see Disruptor Grenade above).
A HTH CBT weapon with an attitude! It has an ROF of 2
and HIT number of 3+. Any roll which is exactly the HIT
number does not damage the target immediately, instead
it becomes disrupted (see Disruptor Grenade above).
X1 RUNAWAY

The X1 was designed with a unique attack ability, hence

its "X" designation. It is constructed with an invasive
interface system used to "jack into" other machines and
control them. PBA and RXS systems are not immune to
this attack. Deployed in "packs" of 4 they hurl
themselves into hand to hand combat, overwhelming
their target. The "jacked" unit then accompanies the
remaining runaways to a new target.

Runaways have the ability to take control of an

opponent's armour. Armour that has been taken over is
referred to as being "jacked." The robot must enter into
HTH combat, expend its fire action and roll a 5 or 6 on
one die. Modifiers are added to this roll as per HTH
combat. If a HIT is scored then that figures control is
taken by the machine player.

If the figure had leadership, it can not be used by the

machine. The machine player can start using the jacked
figure on his next turn.

After affixing itself to an armour it can still be destroyed

and the control of the figure taken back by the
commando. It can not be killed from the front arc of the
jacked figure. When affixed it has a Armour modifier of
0.

If a jacked figure is eliminated, the Runaway which

controlled it remains operational and can attempt to
close with and jack into other figures.

Runaways are designed to operate in groups of two or

more. A Runaway can pass through the square of
another Runaway or occupy the square if both figures
have the same facing.
