==Overview:==
From the beginning, the Minuteman was intended as a cheap, no-frills tactical
combat unit. The goal was to have a vehicle that could run about on the
fringes of the battlefield, sniping at targets and generally causing
confusion. The ability to drop off commando teams and recover wounded soldiers
was regarded as a bonus, as it allowed for greater tactical flexibility. 

Its lone weapon is an AC/2, selected entirely for its long range and the low
cost of acquiring ammunition. Given that the unit isn't supposed to get very
close to combat (despite having enough front armor to survive an AC/20 hit),
not having a back-up weapon was regarded as being an acceptable trade-off.
