================================================================================================
Overview:
    The original Archangel Michael LAM was designed to carry an artillery cannon but the design
    proved problematic and unworkable. The prototype was abandoned but later salvaged as a
    testbed for a heavy LAM mounting a Gauss Rifle. The reinforced frame proved an excellent
    mount for the rifle and a limited run of the AML1-LAM was produced. Lacking the extended
    range fuel tanks and mounting very light armor the design was not popular but the extra
    mobility of the LAM platform did allow for more flexibility than a traditional Mech design.

Capabilities:
    With very light armor for its tonnage the Archangel Michael does not want to engage in close
    combat. Fortunately the extended range of the Gauss Rifle along with its two tons of
    ammunition means the unit rarely needs to close range. The fastest light Mechs are able to
    keep up with the AML1-LAM even in AirMech mode so a pair of Medium Lasers provide
    discouragement for such action.

Variants:
    The primary variant of the Archangel Michael is the "Mechbuster" version that replaces the
    Gauss Rifle with an AC20. It retains the 2 tons of ammo for the gun but adds an additional
    ton of armor protection.
