================================================================================================
Overview:
    Super heavy mechs are just fine if you can get them into "hemmed-in ground." Where most
    forces would be concerned by the lack of maneuvering room and the poor line of sight, a
    super heavy mech is right at home.  It wasn't planning on going anywhere quickly anyways.
    It's flanks are secure.   And it doesn't have to worry about being pecked at by Snipers.
    
    So finding a pair guarding the pass leading to the orbital defense bunkers should of made
    total sense.  Except for the timing.  Recon coverage withdrew 10 minutes ago due to enemy
    fighter launches.  At that time the pass was clear.  The base was 25km away.  And these
    super heavy mechs should of been able to move a whole 3.6 km in that time.  Very suspicious.

Capabilities:
    The Paul is a short to medium range seige engine.  Give it a hard point to attack and it
    will advance.  The enemy can either withdraw or be destroyed, it cares not which.  Firepower
    is a withering 18 Clan ER Medium lasers, and the capacity to fire them continously for over
    a minute.  Secondary systems include an ER Large laser for a minimum of long range fire, ECM
    to shut down some advanced targeting systems. And a TAG, because helping the fire support is
    helping yourself.

Variants:
    The PL-6 is the latest generation of the Paul seen.  The upgrade to Clan spec systems has
    been more then unpleasant to face.  We suspect Society free cells have begun supplying the
    Paul's manufacturer.  Previous versions followed a similar theme of massed Medium lasers,
    but lacked some of the secondary features.

Notable MechWarriors:
    No one knows where this mech got its name from.  At this point it just is the name.
    
    Equally unusual is one of our associated forces penchant for saying "Hey Paul" before trying
    to take its head off with an axe.  We don't know why they like axes either.
