Even then it's usually not good for them. The idea of someone carrying on after taking 3 or more hits (let alone 7!) just seems a bit odd to me!Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-5791638340151102052013-01-31T19:56:21.306+00:002013-01-31T19:56:21.306+00:00That was a fun game, although I do agree with the ...That was a fun game, although I do agree with the Increased Severity of the hits because blondie was shot about 20 times before Emmet/Me Shot him in the head. The only downside though is that if the hit severity was upped it could cause firefights to be really quick this may be more realistic but it would mean that the games could go to quick. But there probably is a way of upping the severity without making it to easy to kill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-64456531412840621682013-01-31T19:16:45.642+00:002013-01-31T19:16:45.642+00:00Stay strong!

Obviously it's of benefit to get closer - but only if your side get the following activation as well!<br /><br />One of my reasons for revising the wound tables is that I'm fed up with tracking multiple injuries on all the characters! However, I'd also like to encourage more deliberate & aimed fire; the possible penalties for blazing away (i.e. out-of-ammo or jammed) don't seem to matter to my players :-( .Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-72308131314512469012013-01-31T19:09:45.340+00:002013-01-31T19:09:45.340+00:00Yes, I wondered about making a hit-location deck f...Yes, I wondered about making a hit-location deck for myself. I suppose that more accurate shots could be modelled by re-drawing a card if you didn't like the first result?<br /><br />Artscow seem to have discounts very often!Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-79954693575319806112013-01-31T19:06:14.753+00:002013-01-31T19:06:14.753+00:00I did miss out a few things from the game in order...I did miss out a few things from the game in order to make the narrative flow better.

Might just steal this idea for a club game some time.<br /><br />And I'm interested in your proposed modifications to the 'to hit' tables. So far I haven't found there to be too much issue, but I see your point about aimed shots should be more lethal.<br />Black Smokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224618113803317243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-71353305926249160682013-01-31T10:27:39.092+00:002013-01-31T10:27:39.092+00:00oh and i think it was you i picked up ARTSCOW from...oh and i think it was you i picked up ARTSCOW from for customisable cards , just in case you did not see it they have free shipping and 25% of until middle of FEB - code PLAYCARDJAN<br /><br />just got me a new pack for $8.99DaveDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995593231170018770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-23405637473610358512013-01-31T09:51:24.339+00:002013-01-31T09:51:24.339+00:00Excellent stuff I am with you on the mod for hit l...Excellent stuff I am with you on the mod for hit location severity, be interesting to see how it works.<br /><br />I am experimenting with two different "hit location" packs at the moment - the blaze away which has 72 cards and just 5 deaths , and some that just give a too darn close - duck back result.
