In so many ways that is BATTLETECH taking a direct lift of the BattleTech Experience. It happened often enough back in the the late 1980’s on our table tops that it was then and forever part of the Franchise.
There are times that weaponless 50 tonners and above are more of a Danger after they lose their weapons. Quite often I keep high enough Evasion Chevrons and of Bulwark that a Griffin’s PPC and LRMs and the Griffin’s propensity to overheat tank it fairly low in the Target Priority List. But I too have lost Mechs to Melee. So when that Griffin’s Right Torso get’s removed and all I’ve left the AI is that Griffin’s Melee Attacks, well I redirect just about all the firepower needed to put that Mech down as soon as possible.
