- One of my favorite 'Mechs since I started playing BattleTech has been
- the Warhammer. I took one look at the cover and decided I liked that
- 'Mech. Great profile, lots of guns, and it looks mean. Well, time
- has marched on and now here we are in game time of 3050+. The Warhammer,
- once a dangerous opponent (if one removed the Small Lasers and spent the
- tonnage on leg armor), has been reduced to a second stringer by the
- ill-design crews at FASA. I broke out my handy calculator and Mech
- Editor program and after much thought and experimentation, here is
- what I feel is a Warhammer for our time.

- I expect someone will post commenting on how the XL Engine winds up nearly
- doubling the cost of the Mech. Well, victory costs and the pocketbook is the
- first place you start paying. The IS cannot afford to have Mechs which fall
- down with leg injuries in the 3rd round of firing as the current Warhammer
- has an annoying tendency to do. The Heavy Hammer's XL Engine lets it pack on
- the extra 3.5 tons of armor that have proven effective in extensive field
- trials. Two ER PPCs give effective long ranged combat with no reliance on
- resupply. An impressive array of 10 Medium Lasers gives the Heavy Hammer
- a respectable close range bite. The flamer allows for raising enemy heat
- scales if playing with that option, starting fires in woods, and eliminating
- those pesky infantry types.
