Good armour rating for mechs?

[Rayhawk]

but alas, d3's are not commonly found(do they even exist?)

No.

Sure they do, they're just not common. They look like regular d6es, except with two sides each for numbers 1, 2, and 3.

Oh man, that is totally cheating. I just about broke my brain trying to imagine a 3-sided geometric object this morning.

and then realised it isn't one of the platonic solids, DAMN you cursed d3

Idea time:

Ablative Armor: +1AP per Structure level. Explosive plates absord and disperse incoming shots, providing a chance that the creation may live a few seconds longer. This allows a creation to re-roll an armor roll once per game.

I really like that idea. I'd love to see a tank covered in removable plates like that. At some point I also want to use slat armor to protect my armored vehicles from RPG fire.

Course, there is one problem with my rule idea: it interferes with the idea of frequent mass destruction. So it may be un BrikWarsy. Hide mechs behind cover would be an easier (and cowardlyer) way to go around their destructability.

You have forgotten, any thing the mech hides behind can also be destroyed.

It's a round lozenge with three sides.

Don't mind me I'm form holland but what the F***ing hell is a lozenge???!!!@@@@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Atomsk]

A lozenge (◊) is a form of rhombus. The definition of lozenge is not strictly fixed, and it is sometimes used simply as a synonym (from the French losange) for rhombus. Most often, though, lozenge refers to a thin rhombus — a rhombus with acute angles of 45°. The lozenge shape is often used in parquetry and as decoration on ceramics, silverware, and textiles.
