The 360 Rule
Alternative weapon rules for the Imperial BaneBlade
The BaneBlade is a mean machine, well according to the Imperial doctrine
it is
in reality a single BaneBlade is a real easy target to hit
and destroy. Though they can give out quite a bit of firepower (eight)
the range if quite low for such a points heavy machine, 45cm.

The 360 rule is quite simple, 8 times 45 is 360, therefore considering
the firepower multiplied by the range equals 360 then you can change the
combination prior to the game (and with the consent of your opponent).
Therefore possible combinations are
|
|
|
| 4 |
90cm |
| 6 |
60cm |
| 8 |
45cm |
| 12 |
30cm |
The rationale is that before a battle a BaneBlade crew may decide what
ammunition they will carry, more lighter long ranged shells, or heavier
more damaging short ranged ordanance.
It is not advisable to go above 90cm or below 30cm ranges as this starts
to get a bit silly, FP 120 at 3cm for example.
