Just to be clear...

Base to hit is 8+ on 2d6.

Ken has a shotgun that does 4D damage.  It is +3 to hit at Medium range and +5 to hit against no armor

Does that sound about right?

Ken is in the rear and will fire and move toward the village.  I'll post that once I'm clear on the combat procedure.

Your Dex value can also affect your shooting, page 45 in my Book 1. +5 for no armor & +3 for range look good too. And then your weapon skill level.

I had a zero for Dex, +2 and -2 which cancelled out for no armor and range with a carbine, ending with a level 2 skill. So overall, a +2 to hit on Blake's roll.

In reply to Ken Jenkins (msg # 630):

Correct, your base chance is +8, 4D damage. No advantageous DEX DM, no disadvantageous DEX penalty. Ken has Shotgun-0, so no further bonus.

Attacks are assumed to be aimed single shots. Panic fire (snap shot) is available. You can make three attacks at -2, expending all ammunition in the weapon. A carbine is treated at an SMG for purposes of autofire bonus and group hits.

I listed where the attacks are coming from, including numbers. Please specify your targets!

To confirm, targets have no armour.

Books are available through the "Game Links" link.

Is it Ken or Blake that has the tactics skill?

Anyway, Jack shoots a target designated for him so he doesn't double up and waste the high wounding potential of the laser rifle

In reply to 'Lucky Jack' McIntyre (msg # 634):

Whoops! Originally posted in the wrong thread.

There being no designated command structure (other than Professor Messandi) I would assume he waits until Ken designates a target. If one is not forthcoming I will randomly determine one unless you have a preference.

Tony

I figured that Ken was in tactical command.  He does have Leader-2 and Tactics-1 (about his only significant skills) so the character (if not the player) should have some serious impact on the outcome of the situation.  I know I've not been too active lately which hasn't helped.

It looks like we have Billy firing to the left and let's say Blake and Lucky shooting to the right.  The enemy to the front are at least keeping their heads down.  Does that sound right to everyone?  Ken will join Billy in firing to the left for now while he remains as the rear guard.

Does reloading take a round I assume?

In reply to Ken Jenkins (msg # 636):

Reloading takes a round for magazine weapons. You are treated as Evading and may not move (either close or open range) although you can move a little (9m or so).

Don't forget the scientists are armed as well (this is Traveller). They may not actually shoot, however.

In reply to GM (msg # 637):

I don't see a to-hit roll for Lucky Jack! His to-hit is 2+ so it's a foregone conclusion.

Also, don't forget that the group hits by shotguns rule! Up to three additional targets may be attacked (if in a pack, group, in column, etc.)

To keep things moving I'll also randomly roll to see who the scientists engage, if anyone. (Being who they are, they aren't particularly aggressive and need to be led by the hand or otherwise told what to do in combat.)

Nice gunfire!

I'll be more explicit about directing the scientists to fire in the future.

Even better, I have uploaded the combined armour/range weapon charts from Snapshot.

Tony

Snapshot is the way to go.  I used that table from the boxed set until it fell apart!

I'm afraid that I'm dropping out.

Thanks for playing with me.

We'll miss you. Take care of yourself.

Sorry to hear that Jack, take care of yourself.

Sorry to hear that jack :)  Keep well.

In reply to 'Lucky Jack' McIntyre (msg # 642):

Too bad, we were glad to have you as a player!

Thanks,

Tony

Lucky, may your travels be prosperous ...

New player on board, I'm working on a new character sheet today ready to go this afternoon or tomorrow.

Lucky is dead!  Long Live Lucky!

Sorry, should have specified that you can use Book 1 and CotI. But you figured that out! I will change your character now.

Thanks,
