So quick question y'all.
I've been wondering how the ladder rules are supposed to work functionally.
"Ladders permit a single friendly foot infantry unit to climb up or down elevation levels to any terrain adjacent to a ladder equipped unit (such as a building or hill) at a rate of 1 MP per level, up to the maximum number of levels accommodated by the ladder (equal to the ladder’s length in meters, divided by 6, rounding up), to the level of the underlying terrain of the ladder-equipped unit. Infantry may not climb a ladder on a unit that spends any MP in the same turn."
So basically all basic foot infantry have MP of 1. So is there ever a purpose to having ladders longer than 6 meters?
The only thing I can think of is getting infantry to higher level terrain adjacent to the battlemech involved, but then what happens to infantry that are in the middle of climbing the mech? What if the mech starts moving while they are in the middle of traveling up? What if they get shot at? Are there rules around these things?
