Fluff: Although the Helaman was a good multi-purpose armor, the AFNN made the decision to experiment with various other battle armor designs. Among these new designs is the Battalion, which is meant for a fire-support role.
The Battalion's biggest features are two over-the-shoulder weapons pods that can collapse onto the armor's back to make the unit more compact. Each pod contains 10 anti-tank rockets and a snub-nose M-603A "Blow Gun" machine gun with 200 rounds of ammunition. Mounted on each arm is a retractable vibroblade that can deploy and, in essence, become an extension of the armor's arm; note that as the blades are mounted to the arms, the armor's hands remain free the entire time. A jump jet is nestled on the armor's back, enabling brief flight.
Game Rules: The rockets and the machine guns each do 1 point of Battletech damage; treat the rockets as RL rockets and the machine guns as light machine guns to determine range. The power armor's hands remain free even when the blades are deployed, allowing the use of the hands to hold other weapons or handle reasonably-sized objects. The unit has 1 MP jumping.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

Still trying to find the rules to actually figure out how I'm supposed to draw them up.
