Fria Ligans forum

Rule questions are easier to answer for FL than others here (on their own forum) because they are the ones writing them and also are easier to talk about since they mostly are about balancing. The setting material is as you say, for the most part not written by FL and almost none of the writers are...

"Original M16's were notoriously unreliable once fouled" No, the powder specification was changed from the approved version without telling the designers so the appropriate modifications could be made. Actually, the statement is correct. With the out-of-spec powder, the original M16's were unreliab...

Put the game in gamers' hands and let them figure out what happens next. Give them tools, not 'series.' Give them mysteries, not 'canon.' Give inspiration. Help gamers create. The idea certainly has a certain attractiveness. However, as we all know it's not going to happen; that there will be a "ca...

Then there's illumination rounds for mortars, artillery and even for the Carl Gustaf recoilless rifle.

Glöm inte Lyran.

Looking at it from the other side, then... "VDV — Greetings From the Sky!"

Post-soviet VDV, to be sure, but the differences don't strike me as all that marked...

Except that you'd throw suppression out the window. You point out something important. How come that as soon as fire hits a target — any target — it suddenly doesn't cause suppression? That assertion is incorrect. Getting hit causes a CUF check and damage. (Page P64, LC) Getting suppressed just cau...

You point out something important. How come that as soon as automatic fire hits a target — any target — it suddenly doesn't cause suppression? At this point I think you need to read the rules again. A hit causes suppression regardless of ammo dice. Ammo dice can cause suppression in the absence of ...

Except that you'd throw suppression out the window. You point out something important. How come that as soon as fire hits a target — any target — it suddenly doesn't cause suppression? I have a bit of a problem with that. I'd actually be inclined to consider allowing the [ammo success] results to a...

The former. In fact, as currently written, ammo dice hits are completely independent of hits on the base dice and there's no way to use them as additional successes. This particular point has been a lot of the debate in here. So say you rolled an attack with [success, success, success] and [ammo su...
