Experimental 6 Pack - Faction Wars

Hey all,

So so on the Aurora Nova Discord, Psy5 started something he calls Experimental 6 Pack, where we tweak rules, parameters, hangars, etc...on Sunday nights. Tonight we ran Faction Wars, by far our most complicated evdevour to date. The idea in a nutshell was to run Faction specific hangars so as to see some of the lesser used bots in combat. We didn't set teams up to be Faction specific, just hangars. It was a blast with 12 pilots participating and we are going to revisit it again in the near future. 

Here are the rules, tweaked to take into account tonight’s experience.

6 Pack Faction Wars!
--------------------
OK, to keep it fairly simple but hopefully interesting we're going to use the following rules:

Every Heavy in your hangar must be balanced by a Light. Mediums and Lights are 'free'.

So, the following hangars can be deployed:
HHMLL
HHLLL
HMMML
MMMMM
MMMML
MMMLL
and so on until...
LLLLL

GENERAL RULE 0: All bots in your hangar must come from the same faction.

GENERAL RULE 1: All bots and weapons must be L6 or lower. Any exceptions must be accepted by the group (think single L7 bot with L5 weapons or some such, not L1 Gep with 887 magnums!).

SPECIAL RULE 1: The Rogatka and Carnage are going to be considered 'Heavy Mediums' and as such while the first one is free (treated as a medium), any additional ones must be balanced by a light (treated as a heavy).

SPECIAL RULE 2: No ancilots in any Camelot hangar. (Experience has shown Camelot hangars to be quite versatile)

SPECIAL RULE 3: JSDF hangars must be either HHMMM (or HMMMM? Four or five fujins might be OP. Discuss.).

SPECIAL RULE 4: The fifth nonexistent slot in a 4 slot hangar can be used to balance one heavy as if there was a Light bot in it.

The following factions are in play:
-----------------------------------
Transatlantic Military Corp. (TMC)
Fury(H), Griffin(H), Rhino(H), Patton(M), Destrier(L)

Russian Empire
Natasha(H), Rogatka(HM), Vityaz(M), Cossack(L)

Imperial Germany
Leo(H), Boa(M), Gepard(L), Shutze(L)

Freedom Fighters Alliance (FFA)
Carnage(HM), Golem (M), Stalker (L)

Japanese Self Defense Force (JSDF)r
Raijin(H), Fujin(M)

Camelot
Lancelot(H), Galahad(M), Gareth(L)

Wild Bunch
Butch(H), Doc(M), Jesse(L)


ADDENDUM: If someone has or is willing to spend what it takes to deploy a full JSDF or Wild Bunch hangar, I say God Bless them. I believe they will be strong but not overwhelming.
