Emplacements

^{Home > Rulebook > Equipment > War Machines and Siege Devices > Emplacements}

Emplacements are weapons that can be constructed. All emplacements are treated as Mecha weapons for the purpose of damaging a Mecha. They do not have any ammunition requirements, as their TP cost is directly related to their time required to reload. If removed from their emplacement, they can be fired for one additional round before becoming depleted.

Emplacements can be moved by 1m for every 2 TP spent.
