Old Equipment : Stats & are they still Legal ?

Every time I see "tripod" weapons in _CW_, I think of _The Empire Strikes Back_, and the Snowtroopers trying to manhandle their tripod weapon into position; it doesn't go well. Similar tended to happen in _CW_ -- big, immobile, and even a gunshield didn't help much.

You say that until a concealed tripod mounted VMG on a highway overpass drills your roof...

If you haven't emplaced your tripod weapon before you expect to need it, you are an idiot who deserves to be outcompeted in the gene pool by the persons who PLAN their ambush.

If you you want to fire from the hip, save your dependents some of their inheritance by buying a AR instead. Then you can stumble into combat with your pants half down and still have a chance of dying semi-honourably.

[snort] And you wonder why my convoys always include a helicopter? Or why my "road" designs don't look a thing like my "arena" designs? :)

The SO and The Me were discussing this just last night -- she's been going through my TSR _Car Wars_ solo adventures; I've been explaining to her how some of them were based on stuff pub'd in _ADQ_, and the differences between the two pub's. One point I made clear to her: Universal Turrets were not often seen in Arenas; on the road, there were a sine qua non.
