 ===Variant G===
 {{Starter}}
-The Owens G carries 1 [[ERLL]] and 1 [[LL]] giving it a range much longer than that of other light mechs. At only 42,150 CBills, the G is barely available at the start of a match. Unfortunately, most Mechs so early in the game are very fast and will close on the G too quickly for it to make proper use of it's long range. Unless a good sniping position is readily available, the G can find itself unable to leverage its superior range and pinpoint accuracy. Both of the weapons that the G carries are in it's arms, unlike most other Owens that carry some weapons in the torso. Mechwarriors should be careful to protect their arms while piloting the G. Where the G really shines is using its [[BAP]], [[C3]], and [[TAG]] as a long range scout for missile boats. This is especially effective against large groups of slower targets at the 1300m maximum range of [[TAG]]. This makes the G a good late game joiner if your team has acquired a few long range missile assets.

 ===Variant F===
-The F variant the most expensive and one of the hardest-hitting Owens, mounting 3 [[MPL|Medium Pulse Lasers]], combined with an [[SSRM6|SSRM6 w/ Lock on Guidance]] and 1 [[Free ton|extra to of ammo]] for some disruptive power and a powerful punch. Not as capable of hit and run as the C, due to its lack of MASC, but the lock on nature of its launcher and large array of pulse lasers coupled with [[BAP|BAP radar]] means this mech is meant to stay close and brawl it out. While having an easier time of consistently dealing full damage, it has a harder time spreading damage simultaneously, as it needs to keep staring its opponent down in order to maintain lock and for the pulse laser damage to build up. 2 [[HS|Heat Sinks]] allows the F some ability to handle the massive heat load from the pulse lasers and because the F has no MASC there is no other system on the mech competing for heat capacity.

 ===Variant E===
 {{Starter}}
-The Owens E, carrying some hefty hitting power in the form of two [[MRM10]]s backed by 2 [[ML]]s, is easily the most heavily armed Owens variant. However, it is less useful early game due to the relative inaccuracy of MRMs. It is, however, a god-send for latecomers, allowing them to threaten heavier, slower, more expensive mechs in the late game, and still having enough speed to run away should things go badly. The Owens E also does an excellent job of mopping up starter tanks and hovercraft at short range, though not too close due to the [[minimum range]] of [[MRM]]s. The E has no [[free tons|extra tons]] of ammo and the [[MRM]]s should be fired conservatively to avoid running out. Being an Owens, the E can quickly return to base for more ammo, but Mechwarriors should be cautious of their ammo consumption just the same. While the E does have [[BAP]] it is far from the best Owens for scouting. The C or D variants work much better for scouting. All of the weapons that the E carries are in it's arms, unlike most other Owens that carry some weapons in the torso. Mechwarriors should be careful to protect their arms while piloting the E. Again, like all Owens variants, the E has [[TAG]].
+[[Skirmisher]] and [[scout]]. Can function as a [[twist fighter]]. Good [[starter asset]] for late joiners in [[Terrain_Control_Guide#The_Middle_Game|mid- to late-game]].
