so, do we think maybe 2 for the body, and 1 for limbs and head? Or higher? Figuring the head could have a 1-4 or 1-5 chance of protection, allowing for a lucky shot...

Seems about right. Tom was able to disable the skitter with a 12 gauge as per Pope's suggestion, and we can presume it was loaded with buckshot so wouldn't go too much higher on AV.

Maybe a second version of the Mech without the stunner, and instead with a heavier weapon? or like you said, have the regular Mechs able to be up-armed based upon need, perhaps pods are delivered by the Beamers as necessary...?

Watch later seasons...

It's actually covered very early in Season 2. Episode 1 I think.

I've got a feeling I might keep the book as it is but label it as "Falling Skies - Season 1 (The initial invasion)" or some such, this way groups can get into games with the basics, without getting bogged down in the deeper details. Then maybe a second book that updates the first with the new aliens, mechs and new dynamics....

Definitely watch at least the next season.
