Designer Notes
The Brawler Black Mamba variant was introduced as a field modification during the last years of the War of the Alliance. As production of the Black Mamba reached acceptable wartime levels with the Territorial Arms production lines back at full capacity, cadres and even sections of Gears consisting primarily of Mambas began to become more common. Wanting to create a variety of capabilities while maintaining the speed and maneuverability of the basic chassis, several aternate weapon configurations came into play. The Brawler was designed expressly as a counterpart and companion to the Long Fang Blac Mamba fire support field modification. While the Long Fang was given a large load of heavier Vogel-B rockets, the Brawler was designed for short-range area saturation. The modifications were fairly simple, replacing the PR-55 autocannon with a HGL-70 grenade launcher and the Vogel-8 rocket pod with a Buzzer-F 44mm rocket pod, but these short-range high rate-of-fire weapons were very effective against light vehicles and ground troops, precisely the opposite of the Long Fang.
