General Details
Name: ER Flamer
Type (Category): Weapon (Energy)
Reference: Tactical Operations: Advanced Units & Equipment (p. 124)
Description:
First developed by the Clans, the fusion-based extended-range (ER) flamer variation relies on improved magnetic coils and a narrower muzzle aperture to achieve more focus and propulsion at the cost of damage and spread. Though now commercially available to both the Inner Sphere and the Clans, this weapon system has yet to find a home on standard vehicles or ’Mechs.
Game Rules:
In game play, the ER Flamer operates as a fusion-based (non-vehicle) flamer. Against non-infantry targets, it delivers the same armor damage as a standard flamer, but with only half the heat effects (rounded down, to a minimum of 1 heat point). Against conventional infantry, the ER Flamer delivers only 2D6 burst-fire damage, rather than 4D6.

Special Unit Abilities
The special unit abilities described here are intended for use with the Alpha Strike rule system:
Heat (HT)
Units with this ability apply heat to the target’s Heat scale during the End Phase of the turn in which they deliver a successful weapon attack. If the target is a unit type that does not use a Heat Scale, the heat this ability would normally produce is added to the normal attack damage instead.
A unit with a Heat value at a range it does not normally deal damage at may make a special weapon attack in place of its standard weapon attack that only deals the effects of the Heat special ability.
