Okay. I'm digging it. My friend, who I'll be playing against next Sunday
asked me this question. If he builds covers over the joints of his mecha,
will that prevent an attack against the joint until the cover is blasted
away? It seems like it would to me. The thing that bothers me about this
is that the better build/protected mech will have an advantage over other
mechs. Someone could spend time building in extra protection for all their
joints at no extra cost in CP. I know this game is suppose to be somewhat
light hearted, but it is still a wargame and people like to win. I know my
friend will be doing his best to squeak ever advantage out of the rules.

Well-built models will always have an advantage over poorly-built models.
That's completely intentional.

The question isn't about whether a properly-armored mech has an unfair
advantage, but rather, why would anyone pay full CP and then not bother to armor
the joints?

(...) Well, it makes sense. I didn't know if it was intentional or not. I've seen pictures of 'Mechs (in BrikWars) that have unarmored joints. ~Clangador (20 years ago, 14-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars)
