Each arm can carry one Lance. The Lance requires a single critical slot and weighs one ton for every twenty tons the 'Mech weighs. It attacks with a +1 penalty, and inflicts one point of damage for every five tons the 'Mech weighs. In addition, if armor remains after a Lance attack, the attacker should roll 2D6. On 10+ a single point of damage is applied to the internal structure. Roll for a critical hit at a -2 modifier. A Lance that hits an unarmored location has the usual chance for inflicting critical hits.<ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 290</ref> A Lance's battle value is equal to the damage it inflicts.<ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 383</ref> </div> ==References== * ''MapPack: Solaris VII'' pp. 57-58 <references/> ==Bibliography== * ''[[MapPack: Solaris VII]]'' (Sourcebook) * ''[[Tactical Operations]]'' [[Category:Weapons]] [[Category:Melee Weapons]]
