Is it true that this was made by NASA engineers? Because it seems like the creators look like the sort of people who think IT'S OBVIOUS what the granade factor for things 4 or 5-10 hexes away are.

But enough autistic spergs bought this to get supplements released, Jesus Christ. ArmA doesn't give as much poo poo about war as this game does.

I've updated the hit-and-hit-location-roller so that it doesn't think that all limb hits automatically go to the right arm and leg, and the Hired Goon Character Manager spreadsheet has a lot more features now. For example, in addition to the Main sheet, there's a Learning sheet where Learning Point Totals can be entered, which automatically calculates the Skill Level and updates all dependent fields. I need to find some way to give you editing rights on this thing so you can actually use it, and I'll see what I can do about adding shotguns to the hit-location roller.

The offer to make data sheets for modern weapons (or just M16's with ACOGs) still stands, by the way!

e: It can now model shotguns, automatic shotguns, and up to 120 hits.

You will need his email so you can give him the right to edit sheets via the share function on google docs. Or you can set "anyone with the link can edit" and just PM him the link.

Modern rifles have effective ranges of up to 300 meters. Maybe we should try that next time.

Since people have been arguing about how much to load our combat teams up with, here's a table to make the relationship between carried weight and Combat Actions clear.

Armor has the following weights:

code:
Type                             Wt.    PF
Light Flexible:                  2.0      4
Medium Flexible:                 2.6      6
Heavy Flexible:                  3.2      9
Light Rigid:                     7.9      6
Rigid:                          11.5     10
Medium Rigid:                   15.0     16
Heavy Rigid:                    24.0     30
Light Helmet:                    2.2      6
Medium Helmet:                   3.1     10
Heavy Helmet:                    4.0     16
Visor:                             0.8    4
PF 16 can stop 5.56 NATO at the muzzle, and 7.62 NATO at 70 hexes. PF 30 stops basically all kinds of small-arms fire.

What is Heavy Rigid in real-world terms? Uparmored Humwee door?

How slow would our dudes be in medium rigid and a medium helmet?

How slow would our Best Merc be in Heavy Rigid, a.k.a. the absurd video game EOD titan armor?

I am likely an idiot



So a Bolter is close to 20mm autocannon in diameter, yet Deathwatch RPG gives the weight of 18, and a rough estimate of ammo mag weighting 10% of the full gun weight, so that's where I derive weights from. The muzzle velocity is of the original gyrojet. I might have messed up some other things

Bolter is .75, I checked.

While this is a generous offer, I think it would still be best to try and save money where possible. This talk of buying a tank for instance, surly we can get similer results(and save alot of money) by just bolting the QF 17 pounder to the Hatchback. No need for anything so fancy.

I don't think anyone ever made a QF 17-pounder portee, but 50 years of truck technology must have made this possible!



We could have one of these, but more British!

But that's probably for Angola Mission 2 or stuff, since it would give us time to hire local Askaris to boring jobs with little potential for becoming a casualty crew support/team weapons.

Joke option: some unholy marriage between a Casspir MRAP and the QF 17-pounder.

I have an early No Guns, No Glory vote. Mortars were great in Jagged Alliance 1.13 (until the black shirts showed up and shattered my dreams, as well as everything else), armor is always good and we don't even have an option for T-55.

I can't argue with any of the other purchases. Grenades, shotguns and SMGs are necessary if you run into any buildings any time soon, and WWII vintage rifles aren't that bad at ranges over 300 meters (where 5.56 ammunition falters).

That's just the kind of trigger discipline that this outfit practices!

1. Keep your finger on the trigger.
2. Double tap is a myth and there's no such thing as an overkill.
3. Keep aiming at everyone at all time.
4. I do not aim with my eye; he who aims with his eye probably knew his father.
I don't aim at all.

I do not shoot with my mind; he who shoots with his mind probably knew his father.
I shoot full auto.

I do not kill with my heart; he who kills with his heart probably knew his father.
I kill with a 2x4.
5. The world is a target-rich environment.
