Related to explosions doing more damage inside, I imagine that also includes explosions inside vehicles. Meaning that moving forward, those HEAT rounds penetrating into a vehicle are going to be even uglier to any crew inside.

On the explosion roll (a hand grenade have explosion damage C so you roll 2d8 for this), extra successes increase damage Ok so the grenades receive the "base damage" of the explosion (C=2) for the targets in the hex? And additional successes on the explosion roll increase this by 1-2? Fro...

Okay that helps, but it still doesn't reconcile this line on page 71 under TARGETING: "Also, when targeting a hex, any extra successes on the attack roll have no effect." That means that you would roll to see if you hit the hex, and then roll for the explosion. But because you targeted th...

Since hand grenades don't have direct damage, you don't target an individual with it anymore, only a hex. Anyone in the hex the hand grenade land in take explosion damage which for a hand grenade out in the open is C or 2d8 which causes 0 or 2-3 damage. Other types of grenade may have direct damage...

Hand grenades are not meant to kill anyone, just to injure them. A hand grenade has 14% chance of doing 3 damage (and causing a crit) and 61% chance of doing 2 damage (not bad in a world where people on the average can take 4,5 damage before going down) and It will cause suppression and knock the t...

The challenge seems to be related to the blast radius of a grenade compared to the size of an actual hex. The way our group handled grenade direct damage previously was by allowing for the -2 modifier when making a direct attack, i.e. landing a grenade right at the target's feet, thereby allowing th...

Also, a person with any form of protection in the form of armor value need not fear critical hits from hand grenades, as no critical injuries could happen But this refers to only the areas covered by armor, right? Rolling 2 hits would inflict a crit if there is no protection? In general the effecti...

Thanks Ursus! Good callouts across the board, as usual. For some additional background on some of the decisions made for anyone interested in this kind of stuff: In any project of this scope, there are bound to be some errors - we admittedly ran into some misses on the map due to the mapping softwar...

I wanted to also take a moment to drop some great map resources in this thread as well. Here's the google map that comes with the free supplement. Feel free to copy it to your own drive - it contains all of the units from Canon Plus along with various points of interest. When paired with the supplem...

Maybe move the focus away from Europe, at least for the time being? This was one of the other reasons why a bunch of us wanted to do the Canon Plus/Community Timeline Project. Opening up the setting only provides more opportunities for interesting campaigns, and converts it from a simulation of Sov...
