This is the general form so I can’t say too much more about why there was a howitzer. Suffice to say that it was by the book however.

This is a funny side thread, because I mentioned an "adjustment" with a new recon roll, not a correction. :) I think I could have compressed this into a shot every round, by having the spotter act on the same round as the gunner (at an earlier initiative), but that seemed too fast for arti...

Continuing his run of awesome luck, my son's group ran right into an artillery supported sniper ambush. I'd like to sanity check my reading of the indirect fire rules. Situation: Sniper and spotter are ~30 tactical hexes away when the encounter starts. Howitzer is a 152mm located ~300 hexes away. Ro...

No pardons for this guy. He's basically a rank-and-file member from a band of NATO deserters that my PC group fought, and have now semi-forcibly recruited. TBD if he turns out to be loyal or not, but he's an interesting character, and that's what matters! Here's his condensed stat line, for the curi...

I keep trying to point out weird little rules that might be playing into the issue and making things easier than intended just in case they are being overlooked. It is easy to do that in the system. For example, how many rounds are your snipers using to line up their sniper shots? Slow aim is a slow...

Ability to fire single rounds (using no ammo dice for an attack) was a late addition, as I recall, so there may have been some related edits missed. The double barrel having an ROF 2 was done in response to the question "why would I ever fire both barrels if there's no extra effect"? Of co...

I have a weird rank related question, relevant to a recently recruited NPC in my T2K campaign. His background looks like this: Born 1952(!). 6 years education, then commissioned 1976 in Combat Arms. He served 9 years & was promoted repeatedly for distinguished service "under fire", up ...

Answering to no one in particular... ...it would really make sense that "resources are scarce" but weapons not so much, but the Player's Handbook makes it hard to sell this to the players. Domestic food is priced at 10 bullets for a day's ration and an AK-74 is worth 400 bullets. This wou...

We FINALLY got to play this out tonight. Here’s how it worked out: The MBs spotted the exhausted PC group and welcomed them in, moving the two injured into a tent. They subtly interrogated the PCs about whether they were part of a bigger unit or were in contact with command. When it turned out that ...

My players have gone for about ten days since the campaign started. They have got a "Bandvagn 309" as their vehicle. Although converted to run on alcohol, it only consumes 8 liters of fuel while driving on road and has a load capacity of "all the gear in the world". Now, they ha...
