Everyone comes in with random stats, but Gun Combat Skill Level 3 (out of 20) and Hand-To-Hand Combat 3. Everything else is 0.

You bought what? Six different types of small arms ammunition. Six! Your SMGs can't share with your pistols, your marksman rifles can't share with one of your automatic rifles, your squad-automatic rifles can't share with each other, your assault rifles can't share with each other... I have to maintain ready stocks of six different types of ammo! Why would you do this to me? Why?

Thunderdome Round 1 - Fight 2 - Popete v. Actuary WARRIORS     PRE-FIGHT ANALYSIS Popete looks stronger on paper, and indeed he is higher seed than Actuary. However, his rock weighs him down and is quite a slow and unwieldy weapon overall. He's gonna have to play pretty defensively and choose a good time to land a hit, or else he is in a tough spot. Actuary may have worse stats on paper but his club gives him a speed advantage. FIGHT Phase 1 Impulse 1  Both combatants move into combat! Impulse 2  Both sides move into range and begin setting for combat, no strikes yet. Impulse 3/4  Popete swings his rock at Actuary! Actuary parries and loses his preparation for attack! code:Phase 2 Actuary makes a prepared swing against Popete and Popete parries with the rock! Popete recovers just in time to make this parry! code:Impulse 2 Actuary, realizes his folly in bringing a rock to this fight, its much slower than Actuary's club, and very unwieldy. He DROPS the rock and will fight with his fists! Impulse 3/4 Popete throws a punch at Actuary! Actuary attempts to parry with his club! code:Phase 3 Popete throws a haymaker at Actuary! Actuary loses his preparation and parries! code:Impulse 2/3 The warriors recover and set for their next strikes, then attack! Actuary strikes at Popete with his club! Popete parries and attempts counter-attack! code:Phase 4 Impulse 1/2 Popete throws a punch at Actuary! Actuary throws a haymaker at Popete! We have a true boxing match here folks! code:Impulse 3/4 Popete brings another flurry from his fists of fury at Actuary, while Actuary Parries and makes a Jab in counterattack! code:Phase 5 Popete throws another prepared punch at Actuary! Actuary tries to skillfully kick Popete! code:Nobody is grievously injured, like in the previous fight, however Actuary finally succumbed to Popete's fists of fury! Popete advances to Round 2, to fight Snake Doctor  Next fight! Dread v. Steve!

See it's unarmed contests like this where a war bear would really shine. He/she would have like 30 strength and claws and we wouldn't have the ineffectual human slap fights.

If Actuary rolled anything other than a 98 on his club swipe he probably would've knocked you out. And when he punched you in the neck, that had possibility of actually being lethal but unarmed attacks have a 50% chance of doing no damage at all, which saved you again.

I recommended a bear for either artilleryman or entry team, and as resident spy catcher.  Also, Bogdan, you bastard, you only gave us 1 870.  Dibs! or I suppose somewhat more appropriately, "shotgun!".

Glorious. Could end up with a couple of failed recovery rolls by the end. Game seems to model knockout rolls from small arms fire a bit harshly. 98%+ chance of being knocked out from being shot in the knee (and something similar for the foot)?

RA Rx posted:Game seems to model knockout rolls from small arms fire a bit harshly. 98%+ chance of being knocked out from being shot in the knee (and something similar for the foot)? There's two aspects to this. The first is that knockout doesn't have to last out the whole fight. If a character takes less than 50 damage, they'll typically only be out for a few seconds before they can return to combat - and using the advanced KO rules, that doesn't have to involve unconsciousness, but can also involve just being dazed and unable to shoot. Secondly, yes, it's ridiculously harsh.

Is there a move list for hand to hand? There were jabs and haymakers in the fight. Could a soldier you get judo moves through training? Cause flashbanging a room and throwing people about sounds pretty cool.

These all come in quick, medium, and slow variants. "Jab" and "haymaker" are probably just fluff terms for quick and slow punches.

It's just that 70's era animation was a real garbage fire so they drew it all sorts of hosed up. It doesn't even look like it has a pistol grip in those frames.

You know what, sign me up! Name: Trevor 'Snowflame' Bedford  A country boy from Bibb county, Alabama, Trevor got into the army to go to fascinating new places, meet interesting new people, and fire off a bunch of guns and get paid for it. The reality was that he was sat around in a domestic deployment with no action quickly was grating. However, he soon found himself caught up in a lucrative drug ring out of his base and may have picked up a minor drug problem. He was dishonorably discharged when the ring was uncovered, only avoiding prison by accepting a court order to go to rehab. Finding out that you were not allowed to take your gun home after leaving the military was the worst day of his life. When he found out that Hayerd-Gunes were hiring soldiers, he leapt at the chance to see action for real. He's totally sure that the whole 'drug problem' will not be an issue for him or the company. Probably.
