Mini-Missiles are basically small man portable anti-armor/-mecha weapons or guided rockets equivalent to LAW's
HE 5d6 1600m BR=2m HEPF 5d6 800m BR=6m HEAT 1d4x10 1600m BR=1m WP/napalm 1d6/rnd(x20) 1600m BR=2m Gas warhead/smoke ---- 800m BR= 2m per 3 seconds for 1 minute (40 meters)
Short Range Missiles. Generally mounted either singly, in groups of 3 on a hard point or in a pod of up to 20. These are the standard tactical missiles available for anti-tank, -mecha and -aircraft roles.
