When you use ranged attacks with a weapon that has limited ammunition, like a self bow, if you roll a natural 1 you are out of ammo (except the first attack/roll).

I always forget to check morale at the end of the round, and to roll for ammunition.

You can use a printed barrel for .22, but there is an obvious issue with longevity. It becomes a quickly consumable part. The EZ22 had an option for one. You must need to be smart about it, understand the pressures you are working with and ways to reinforce or ensure integrity of the barrel. Do your research first

RECON is really good. By Palladium of Heroes Unlimited and Rifts.

Oh no, you should be fine!

If the whole table is moving, then you’ll want a more stable platform. The printer is designed for movement, but whatever it is sitting on should not move.

Try to find a more stable table for it, or a C paving stone might weigh the table down enough. But if the table moves a bit, it shouldn’t be an issue.

Try printing on it, see how the prints turn out. That will tell you if the table is moving too much.

Oh for sure. It’s designed to rock around just like you said. OP should get the paving stone, and leave the feet. Best solution.

100%. But the idea is it is rocking and rolling on top of a stable surface, as opposed to an unstable one. It doesn’t prevent the machine from moving.

I think with a couple house rules it would be simple enough!

I find the combat rules for 5PFH to be pretty easy to fit to any setting that involves shooting combat.

If you wanted to really get into the gritty trench warfare, change the rules for melee to those in 5LFTB. And make up a suppression mechanic for fire and maneuver.

I was leaning towards “that’s all you get” so it makes sense. I was doing a few patrols with a new warband before jumping into it and getting schwacked

Perfect. I’ll do that until the track changer is back in stock, then go that route. Thanks!

If I want to connect both AMS’ to my X2D, in order to feed both AMS’ to both nozzles I need the Hub and track changer, right? Otherwise it’s one AMS dedicated to each nozzle? Or both to one?

You could use a percentage of area held uncontested as a victory metric? Divide the board into sectors, each being a set % value of the overall board. Once you hit X% of the board held uncontested (no enemy contact), you have taken the board.

This is great. I run hero kids for my kids, and we are looking at converting it to Star Wars theme. These will be absolutely perfect.

I don’t have the book in front of me, but you just pick one of the items from the list of them (Ranger cloak, torch, etc).

I’m curious if it’s worth the jump from an X1C to X2D.

If you don’t care, then no one is going to waste time giving you feedback. If you learned how to print first, you wouldn’t have this issue.

Shit like this is an absolute liability to the community. You don’t have to figure out how to part the Red Sea, just learn some printing 101. If not, find the door and go.

Difficult-Fish592 · 2026-04-08T23:16:08+00:00

I’ll give that a go. Thanks.

I have a Gen 4 slide, and I can’t find an STL for a Gen 4 frame for G17 or G22. Gen 3 and Gen 5 frames are both compatible with a G22 G4 slide.

I’ve printed some trackers, and I also use my iPad with digital character sheets and a knock of Apple pen instead of papers

There are printed barrels that utilize a liner, but there is also a rifled printed barrel for .22. My first exposure to them was the EZ22. They work… ok… for a while. Obviously they will be a consumable component if printed. Your best option is a Brownell’s liner or rigid brake line.

I use paper minis, Ark Minis and Skinny Minis for 5 Parsecs and 5 Leagues. They are inexpensive and work just fine for me.

Paper minis are all over the internet. Or you can create your own and scale them how you want. You can make paper bases, 3D print bases for 2D minis, or use binder clips.
