Hi!
PAVEWAY asks:
>Is the penetration for TNE lasers correct in the rules?
That really depends on which copy of the rules you mean ;-)
Assuming you have the latest mods, Loren Wiseman (from GDW) has
said here and in other places (it was in Challenge too, I think)
that the penetration numbers only applied to hard armor: combat
armor, battle dress, flak jackets with plate inserts, etc.
Lasers should ignore all other armor.
Why is the penetration so low? Frank and Dave did alot of
research into lasers, and decided that this was more realistic. It
also brings it in line with Fire, Fusion, and Steel.
This, along with the other replies I'm certain we'll see, should
clear this up. I can point you to the text in various places
if you'd like...
