attacks of opportunity

Move Attack Move - Represents a “fly by” attack, extreme maneuverability, or firing on the move.

• Requires a mech to have 2 movement attachments
• The mech may use one die (white or green) to move, then attack as normal, then another die (white or green) to move again.
  

Line of Sight, Artillery, and Spotting - Represents the fact that Artillery has an unlimited range but knowing precisely where a target is, is another story.

• If Artillery has line of sight to a target then normal shooting rules apply.
  
• If Artillery does not have line of sight then it may only target a mech if it currently has a spotting die on it.
  
• Normal shooting rules then apply.

As everyone knows, the Mech is the most efficient chassis for war machines, construction drones, and a host of other applications. Nevertheless, a few other chassis types are commonly encountered, including:

Power Armor - Power armor uses mech technology concentrated in a suit worn by a single individual, enhancing their motions with incredible strength. Power Armor gets only 1 white die and can 1 attachment.

Spookbots - Actually, the spookbot chassis is only 1 of several designs that emerged before mech technology became widespread. Spookbots may be piloted or robotic. A spookbot has 1 white die and up to 2 attachments.

War Machines - War Machines refer to the vast variety of non mech enabled machines of destruction. War machines get NO white dice at all and may have up to 3 attachments. A war machine without a movement attachement cannot move.

I'm not sure this adds much to the game as written, but it could be a source of fun.
