Description

Developed to offer greater flexibility to iNarc-equipped units, the simple and devious Nemesis Pod is a variant of the standard Homing Pod that features equipment to broadcast a wide-band homing signal specially tuned to override and draw both friendly and enemy Narc equipped SRMs and LRM missiles, as well as enemy Semi-Guided LRMs and even Arrow IV homing missiles, to strike the target to which its attached. Like all its iNarc brothers, the pod can be brushed off by a determined target.[1]

Rules

Game Rules

If target Narc-capable, semi-guided or Arrow IV homing missiles are fired within LOS of unit with an active Nemesis pod, re-roll to target the nemesis effected friendly with an extra +1 to hit added.
