Eagle Mobile Artillery Missile System
Experimental Weapons System
The Eagle Mobile Artillery Missile System uses similar technology to the Arrow IV’s used by the Great Houses and the Clans. The Eagle Mobile Artillery Missile System is much smaller and not quite as effective as Arrow IV systems. Mainly developed for use on space in-efficient quad Mechs, Eagle Mobile Artillery Missile System Launcher is much like an Arrow IV in appearance, save for it only has two missile tubes and they are twice as long [the missiles take one full turn to load, 2 tubes mean its fire ready every turn]. The missiles are about half as large around, and twice as long, as Arrow IV, but uses more highly advanced explosive compounds, thus granting them the range of 40 Kilometers (cruise missiles), and such an explosive force. The notation on the damage is for its primary damage and the number after the slashes is splash damage in its respective number of hex-rings away from ground zero, one and two away.
The Most useful features of the Eagle Mobile Artillery Missile System, is the in-flight course and target change, and self-destruct. The carrier [unit the Eagle Mobile Artillery Missile System is launched from] has the sophisticated electronics needed to control this cutting edge weapon of war, in the cockpit. Although the electronics are part of the total weight of the unit, they do need to be placed where the pilot has access to them. In a conventional vehicle the system counts as two items for vehicle placement.

darn you. I was going to write up rules for cruise missiles.
Although this does save me the time.
