================================================================================================
Overview:
The Bolo Prime. Despite a plethora of other variants to pick from, this one gets picked
the most. It's almost as if throwing a bunch of hypersonic rocks tends to make problems go
away.
Capabilities:
It's a gauss rifle. Above average punch going out to above average range. 3 tons of ammo
gives above average duration of fire, or let's you take pot shots. Twin ER medium lasers
give just a touch of backup firepower out to medium ranges.
Deployment:
This configuration is perfectly happy finding some nice cover and laying down fire.
Admittedly most configuration feel the same way. The only question is how close is the
cover to the enemy, and how hard is the cover they can hide behind.
Variants:
Sub configurations are not commonly seen. The most common change may be to replace a ton of
ammo with electronics be it a c3 slave or TAG.
Notable MechWarriors:
A recent action saw a company of Bolo III Primes supported by a company of mechanized
Tsunami mrk II battle armor face down a company of modern heavy mechs. In a reversal from
the norm it was the infantry who got stuck in, triggering the Tanks rescue reflex. They
were too slow to save the infantry, but did handily shatter the surviving mechs with massed
fire. They Suffered minimal casualties and only a single lost tank in the mopping up.
