Subject: LAM designs, and some points of discussion

Here are a number of LAM designs which I posted on the net some
time ago. Since then I did use them against Clan Mechs and
was especially succesful against Uller's and similar machines.
But against Clan Mechs they are very vulnerable when facing
big weapons like ER PPC's or Gauss rifles.

On another matter, does anyone know where it says you can
detect Mechs through trees and hills? When I was asked this during
a game, I responded that they could be detected, probably by
the radiation from their fusion reactors, but I realized that
I hadn't seen any specific rule about it.

On a point of discussion, should IS machines be allowed to be
equipped with stripped Clan equipment? I did draw the line at
putting IS weaponry on a Clan targetting computer, but given
time, I think a IS Mech could be equipped with Clan equipment.
