| 1 | Kill the crew | This is somewhat difficult, but it renders the tank
useless (even if another crew comes along, as the controls are completely shot). It also has the bonus of
leaving the rest of the tank relatively intact for salvage. Crew Survival: Nil |
| 2 | Grav Drive | Destroying the Grav Drive or the Power Coupling renders
the tank immobile, severely limiting it's combat potential. The tank isn't killed per say, as it can
still fire all it's weapons, but one can stay out of it's arc of fire. Crew Survival: Total |
| 3 | Weapons | Neutralising all the Tank's weapons turns it into a 200+
ton battering ram or damage sink... neither of which really appeal to tank crews. Crew Survival: Total |
| 4 | Ammunition | Touching off the vehicle's ammunition and capacitors completely and totally annihilates the tank. Crew
Survival: target number 5 minus vehicle speed. Roll for each crew member and for infantry. |
| 5 | Power Plant | When the power plant is destroyed, make another saving roll. If the roll is made, the reactor has only suffered
damage to its components, in which case it simply shuts down--the tank must ground and no movement or weapons
fire is permitted, but it's still "intact". Crew Survival: Total. On a failed roll, the core has been
breached. Fusion reactors, when breached, do not explode in the fantastic sense of the word. The plasma contained
within does, however, engulf the vehicle and fuses it into a lump of molten slag. In other words, the tank is
completely decimated. Crew Survival: target number 7 minus vehicle speed. Roll for each crew member and for infantry. |
| 6 | Structure | When the tank's Internal Structure suffers a catastrophic failure, the tank may simply fall apart (messily), twist
itself into a pretzel, snap in two, etc. The tank is no more, and all internal components are destroyed. Crew
Survival: target number 9 minus vehicle speed. Roll for each crew member and for infantry. |
