TECHNOLOGY MANUAL

Weapons and gadgets for FAD

BETA VERSON
ntrod!"t#on$
This handbook contains a big selection of technological wonders to employ in your games of FAD. Some items here
will be recognizable, while others are brand new.
Some are plausible, some are present day tech, and some are plain silly.
What is important to realize is that eerything here is optional, and should be cleared with your opponent first. Some
items will not fit certain games. Some may not fit your games at all. !e prepared to e"periment and play.
When building your forces, look at what fits the setting you are playing in, and stay true to the force you are building. #n
the end, the responsibility is in your hands. While we hae done our best to make eerything fair and to get the points
alues as close to $right% as we can, there&s always some combination we oerlooked.
While there are weapons, een today, that are fully capable of deastating an area much larger than what our typical
gaming space represents, we hae chosen not to include such weapons, due to their limited appeal and application in
gameplay.
Weapon tra#ts$
These traits may be applied to weapon systems to modify them from the standard. Some weapons in this guide will
hae traits incorporated already. #f so, their cost already includes the fact.
'oints costs are indicated below each item. The first cost is for adding the trait to a s(uad basic weapon, the second cost
is for adding the trait to a s(uad support weapon, the final cost is for adding the trait to a heay weapons system.
Small arms cost is per model.
All cost modifications are factored before any multipliers are applied.
Terror$ )nits hit must take a morale test when ne"t actiated, een if not broken.
Small Arms* +., points. Support* -.., points. /eay* 0 points.
L#%#ted s!pp&'$ Wheneer the weapon or ammunition type is used, roll a D0. 1n a roll of -23, the unit has one more
shot remaining, and will then be out for the remainder of the game.
Small Arms* 2+.3, points. Support* 2+.., points. /eay* 24 points.
C!%(erso%e$ The weapon may not be fired while moing. All heay weapons hae this trait automatically.

Gadgets and gear$
All points costs are added to the base cost of the unit, before applying any multipliers
Gra, %o!nt$
A gra mount only re(uires a single crewman to operate, but will typically hae a team of 3 or 4. Any type of ehicle
mounted weapon may be positioned on a gra mount.
The mount may moe at the same speed as a normal foot soldier <0%= and is unhindered by terrain. #t may not perform
rush moes howeer.
When mounting a $light% or $medium% ersion of any heay weapon, the mount may moe and fire its armament.
When fired upon, treat the mount as a normal s(uad member, with heay armour. A $wound% indicates that the mount is
damaged, and the crew must take a (uality test each turn to operate it. A $kill% destroys it.
The crew must remain within normal coherency distance of the mount to operate it.
'oints cost* 8, to cost of weapon.
Da--&e s!#ts$
Dazzle suits employ a ariety of technologies to achiee their effects, including light bending. A soldier wearing a
dazzle suit has his outline broken up erratically, and can appear almost inisible if he is stationary.
To represent this, soldiers wearing these suits may not be fired at beyond short range if they are stationary.
#f they are moing, they may not be fired at beyond medium range.
'oints cost* 83 per figure.
So&d#er(o's$
:icknamed after an ancient Terran noel, this is a remote controlled combat suit. The suit is piloted by a pilot that is
connected to it, $>acked in%. This permits the pilot to direct the machine without placing himself in danger, although the
process places considerable stress on the user.
Soldierboys are treated as powered armour. #f they are wounded, they are no longer permitted to make 5ush moes, and
may fire only one weapon system per turn. A kill will disable the machine.
'oints cost* calculate as standard powered armour infantry but add 84 per figure <light armour= or 8, <heay powered
armour=
C'(ertan.$
The term cybertank applies to any completely A# controlled ehicle, whether a tank or not. ?ybertank systems are
commonly installed in heay tanks and walkers. Such ehicles are occasionally known as ogres, for arcane reasons.
A cybertank ehicle is completely immune to any morale effects. Additionally, any crew casualty is instead considered
a $systems hit%.
A cybertank can sustain 3 system hits without suffering any loss of actiity. A third hit causes the systems to shut down.
?ybertanks may not be used for transport of infantry.
'oints cost* 8-+
F#e&d pro/e"tor$
A field pro>ector is a fairly bulky deice that can be mounted on a ehicle, fitted to a suit of powered armour, or carried
by an infantry trooper. The deice can be actiated at the beginning of the units actiation, and will pro>ect a bubble
with a ;% radius. The bubble may be fired upon. For each hit, roll -D08antitank rating. A score of -+ or better will
oerload the pro>ector, re(uiring a cool down period. 7ach subse(uent actiation, a ,8 roll is re(uired to actiate it
again.
The unit actiating the bubble may moe, if powered armour or ehicle mounted, but may not itself fire. The bubble
obstructs all moement.
@ight infantry carrying a pro>ector may position it, and remote actiate it at any later point.
'oints cost* -+ points per deice <infantry=. 3+ points if ehicle mounted.
Drones$
The primary use of remote controlled drones is for battlefield recon. Any unit carrying drones may launch a drone as a
?ommand action. The drone may be positioned anywhere within 3+% of the unit, and may spot hidden troops from this
position.
For each drone launched, roll a D0. 1n a -23, it was the last functioning drone aailable to that unit.
'oints cost* A points per unit carrying drones.
Regen !n#t$
A regen unit may be mounted on a ehicle, gra mount or suit of powered armour, instead of a heay weapons .
Alternatiely it may be carried by 3 normal infantry men.
The regen unit may be used to heal one wounded infantry man each turn, by moing into contact.
'oints cost* -+ points
Cr'ostas#s !n#t$
A stasis unit may be mounted on a transport ehicle or gra mount. #t is used to presere casualties so they can be
eacuated safely. A gra mounted unit may contain , wounded, whereas a ehicle mount may contain up to twice its
normal carrying capacity.
Any wounded picked up by the stasis unit are automatically stabilized.
'oints cost* , points
Ho&o pro/e"tors$
When using the Scenario rules, each pro>ector grants an e"tra dummy counter.
'oints cost* , points per deice. This cost is not considered part of any unit.
Snooper$
A grenade sized drone. A unit carrying snoopers may reeal any hidden troops inside a building or terrain feature
without entering it. The unit must be within 4% of the feature to utilize a snooper. 7ach time a snooper is deployed, roll
-D0. 1n a -23, the unit has used its last batch.
)nlike drones, snoopers are deployed as part of the units moement.
'oints cost* 0 points per unit carrying snoopers
Ha'+#re e%#tter$
Any powered armour and ehicle models within -A% are marked as under fire, when the unit carrying the >ammer is
actiated.
'oints cost* , points per unit
0a%%er$
Bammers are rated from -24. A >ammer will block communications of a lower rating within 3;%, of an e(ual rating
within -,% and a higher rating within 0%
'oints cost* 4 points per rating per unit.
T)er%a& #%ag#ng$
)nits with thermal imaging e(uipment may fire normally at night, and may see through smoke screens.
'oints cost* - point per figure.
Co&d*S!#t$
6ay not be issued to powered armour units. ?old units are not spotted with thermal imaging, and normal rules apply
when firing at them at night or through smoke screens.
'oints cost* +., point per figure
Sp#der %#nes$
Any minefield may be designated as Spider 6ines. These must be assigned to a controlling unit. This can be either a
personality, a unit containing a Tech specialist, or a unit with the 7ngineer trait. When the controlling unit is actiated,
each spider mine may be moed up to ;% in any direction.
Spider mines are considered to be @ight mines for damage purposes.
'oints cost* , points per minefield to upgrade
S)ort Range Warp$
A unit with a S5W receier may actiate this as a command action, and instantly moe to within 4% of a S5W receier.
5eceiers may be carried by another unit, in which case it may be used to home in on the unit, it can be positioned
anywhere in the deployment area, dropped off by a unit during its moement, placed as per an agreed upon scenario, or
fired from a grenade or missile launcher, as a munitions type.
)pon arrial, test Cuality. Failure causes the unit to become 'inned.
'oints cost* -+ points per unit
G!arded s'ste%s$
9uarded units are immune to #ntruder manipulations, communications >amming and any other such interference.
'oints cost* , points per unit.
Weapons$
C)o.e gas$
?hoke is a generic term for a ariety of gas weapons intended to debilitate and incapacitate an enemy. 1riginally
intended for crowd control, they can hae uses on an actie battlefield as well.
Troops wearing completely sealed suits will ignore their effects.
A choke shell is fired as a normal shell firing weapon, including a blast radius. Any unit affected must take an
immediate morale test, upon being hit. Due to the intense panic of being gassed, all troops are counted as being 5abble
for purposes of this test. 9as cannot rout a unit howeer. A unit failing the morale test completely will fall back, as if it
had succeeded on one die, but must test morale again the following turn, een if not broken.
Troops that are wearing gas protection gear are immune, but will fight as if one (uality grade lower unless the player
choses to remoe the gas protection at the beginning of the s(uads actiation.
?hoke gas may be fired from any weapon firing an e"plosie shell.
#nfantry grenade launchers may fire choke shells, but the effect is confined to the target s(uad.
'oints cost* 3 points per weapon outfitted with choke shells.
Gra, G!ns$
)tilizing e"tremely high2tech understandings of physics, this weapon drastically increases graity at a target point. This
is usefull for demolition, and can inflict crushing damage on a ehicle. Depending on the concentration of the attack,
gra guns can incapacitate or kill infantry.
9ra guns are fired as a shell firing weapon. A ehicle hit will be immobilized for one turn, and must make a roll on the
ehicle damage table. #nfantry targets hit are incapacitated for one actiation.
Any building or structure taking a gra hit is reduced to rubble.
5ange D;. 84 F7. 3% blast radius
'oints cost* -+ points E heay weapon
1#&& gas$
Fill gas is the lethal counterpart to choke. Troops wearing sealed armour or gas protection are immune, though gas
protection reduces (uality by one leel, while worn.
Any trooper e"posed to kill gas is wounded on a dice roll of ;20. While many of these wounded will eentually die, the
gas is designed to incapacitate ictims to place additional drain on the oppositions morale and medical facilities.
Fill shells may be fired from any weapon firing an e"plosie shell.
'oints cost* , points per weapon outfitted with kill gas shells

'oints cost* A <light=, -3 <medium=, -0 <heay= E heay weapon
Con,ers#on g!n$
Stats as light cannon. Any terrain feature within the blast range is destroyed on a dice throw of 38. This will cause small
buildings to collapse. Against ehicles, increase AT to 8; if stationary, 80 if immobilized. !unkers are treated as an
immobilized ehicle.
#nfantry targets are wounded on a throw of ;2,, killed on a throw of 0, regardless of armour worn. Any suriors are
moed to the edge of the blast area.
?onersion guns must be aimed at a target on the ground. Therefore, hoer and flyer ehicles are not affected by the
blast area. They may be directly targeted, in which case the area of effect is confined purely to the target ehicle

Co%%!n#"at#ons$
FAD assumes that troops are able to communicate with each other freely. This allows the player to co2ordinate his
forces effectiely, een oer a wide distance.
/oweer, if communications are interfered with, or proper comm&s e(uipment is not aailable, troops on the ground are
left with hand signals, erbal communication and similar methods, causing a slow down in tactical initiatie.
The game effect of this is that all units are sub>ect to a command response test, unless they are not within 3;% of enemy
troops. )nits that would be sub>ect to a command response test normally, must test at 2-.
#n addition, the /C trait may not be used to grant a reroll to a unit that is not in communication.
)nits with no communication may still call in indirect fire, as this fire may be directed based on drone or satellite
imagery, called in by flares etc.
?omm&s e(uipment is rated from -2;. This is important if the opposing force is utilizing >amming gear.
'oints cost* All troops carry ?omm&s - for free. 7ach leel of comm&s adds 83 to the base cost of the unit before any
multipliers are applied.
Up&#n.$ )plinked troops are in constant communication with a remote head (uarters feeding them battle field
information, positional analysis and tactical adice. 'roided the unit is in communications, this permits the unit to
ignore command response as long as the unit has no untreated wounded.
The unit may also ignore the target priority rules, as priority targets will be pointed out to them. This applies as long as
there are no enemy within -+%
'oints cost* -.4. This is a trait, and is thus applied last.
3ersona&#t#es$
The following specialists may be added to a unit, using the 'ersonalities adanced rule.
Te")$ Some technologies re(uire a tech to be present to operate them. Additionally, a unit containing a tech may
perform any technological task at 7"pert leel <see the Task System adanced rule=

ntr!der$ )sing a command action, an #ntruder may interfere with enemy networks or attempt to garner information by
monitoring communications. This can be used to either reeal and remoe a hidden unit marker, or >am a target units
communications. The intruder must take a (uality test to succeed. #f he rolls a -, he&s been sub>ected to a counter attack
and may not perform either role for the remainder of the battle.
'oints cost* 3
Te")no&og#"a& #%p&#"at#ons on troops$
These are treated as traits, and the points cost is a multiplier. #t is applied last, along with any other traits.
Dro#d troopers$
Droid troopers can be treated as normal for most combat purposes. Their main benefit is that they are not sub>ect to
normal psychology. This means they do not take morale checks.
/oweer, due to limitations of programming, droid troopers may neer be rated as 7lite units.
Droid troopers may be programmed to maintain basic self2preseration tactics. #f this is not done, they ac(uire the
5elentless trait.
When firing upon droids, you must beat the droids armour roll to hae any effect. /oweer, any roll that beats the
armour roll will kill, rather than wound the droid.
'oints cost* -.4 <self2presering=. -.0 <self2less=
Gene*troopers$
9T&s or 9enetics are built to be soldiers from the ground up, including physical enhancements, mental conditioning and
een psionic manipulations in settings where this is appropriate.
The physical capabilities of 9T&s can be represented with appropriate traits. Due to their uni(ue mental make up, 9T&s
hae an e"treme disregard for their lies. For this reason, they only test morale if they are broken A:D under fire.
'oints cost* -.3
Te") re,eren"e$
#n superstitious cultures, technology may hae taken the place of religion to a large e"tent. For soldiers steeped in such
