Notes

Rate of Fire (RoF)

• S = Single shot
• B = Burst (3 rounds) To-Hit +2
• F = Full (10 rounds) Suppressive Fire (10 m wide) with To-Hit roll required
  • Half damage
  • Evasion Save or Hard Cover avoids damage
  • Heavy Weapons don't need to roll To-Hit on Suppressive Fire, but use 20 rounds

Damage Specials

• AP = Armor Piercing (subtract from vehicle Armor Value)
• Radius = Area effect radius in m (Evasion Save to halve damage)
