[Ogre] Some variant infantry, transports, and an AI cybership

[Pigasus Pig]

I feel a bit guilty about sending this list spiraling
off topic with my first post, but I hope someone does
actually give my Godzilla rules a try.

Anyway, here are some more conventional variants,
including the much-mentioned and never described Nihon
AI ship (Are there any real cybership stats?).


Sniper squad
x2 cost
1/30 LLOS D1 M1 INF
Laser weapon does not work at all against cruise
missiles, or while squad is in raised terrain. Cannot
be airdropped.
Notes: Each squad represents one or two highly trained
laser snipers with half a dozen technicians to keep
them powered. Their lasers are considerably smaller
than those of fixed installations, but much of the
power comes from careful targetting. The reduced
mobility is due to the fragility of the laser rifles
and the weight of the mobile power sources.

Assault Transport Aircraft
6 pts
Moves and is shot down like an off-board cruise
missile. It can carry up to six squads of infantry.
After each move and shoot-down attempt by the
opponent, the ATA may drop 1 to 3 squads in the hex it
occupies. The squads attack any units in the hex in
overrun combat. The ATA must escape across a valid
escape area for its side in order to not be shot down
for VP. It may only be used once.
NOTES: Ogre/GEV seems to lack the units to make a fast
assault possible. In my mind, aircraft would still
have a limited relevance, but only when running at the
same speed as a cruise missile. This drop-ship would
skim the ground, drop its troops, and get out.

Combat Transport
6 pts
0/0 D2 M3/2
May carry a MSL, MHWZ, HVY, or up to 2 LT or INF
platoons the same way a GEV-PC carries INF. The
carried unit(s) may not fire. Disabled armor units may
not be picked up.

SPEC-OPS INF
x3 cost
1/2 D1 M3 INF
-1 to all attack rolls against (even INF in overruns).
NOTES: Their stealth technology consists of true
stealth (optical camoflage, radio absorption) in
addition to ECM. I imagine these troops serving in
special missions for the Vatican Guard or in political
operations.


Steel Kappa (Nihon Laser Cruiser) - 150
60 Hull pts, M3 SHIP
2 Laser Turrets (2/30 LLOS D4)
5 Hypersmart Launchers (3/4 D3)
8 AP


PS: How is cruise missile damage against Ogre treads resolved?
