Inspired by this post on Numbers Aren’t Real and all the Ground Branch I’ve been playing with my brother.
Alternating activations.
Operators have 2 HP,
Basic shoot mechanic: roll dice, check result.
- 6+ is a hit
- 4 or 5 is pinned
- 1, 2, or 3 is no effect
Remove number of dice rolled from ammo.
If pinned, can’t move.
If in cover, hit results count as pinned instead.
Ranges:
- Short = 6″
- Medium = 12″
- Long > 12″
Each turn, move 6″ and take one action:
- Shoot
- Bolt action, pump, etc = 1 ammo per shot max
- Semi-auto = 3 ammo per shot max
- Full-auto = as many as in magazine
- Sprint: move 1d6″
- Reload: restore all ammo
- Aim: next shoot action uses one die size bigger
- Overwatch: free shoot action against next enemy in line of sight (can interrupt moves)
- Switch Weapon: swap between weapons or gear
- Use Gear: throw grenade, use first aid kit, etc.
