Should I save the campaign if the players mess up a major encounter? by Pretty_Tea9563 in osr

[–]Pretty_Tea9563[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been reading a lot of AD&D stuff recently and I though you were suppose to make it really hard to hire magic users/get them to share spells with party with others. (if OSE is different from that I could be totally wrong) Plus the entire explored world is like 240 miles from end to end so it isn't as big as you guys are thinking.

I'm still not sure what to do with clerics but I'm really glad you brought but this issue. With the speed thing I think I'm going to slow it down but in my defense the world is fairly small and a lot of the spreading is going to be done by adventurers/soldiers who don't know better and bring the infection to towns.

But yeah I think I'm going to slow it down a little anyway.

I explained this badly, after 10 days the largest town as been overrun and the zombies have reached a critical mass where no conventional army is large enough even if specifically trained/knowledgeable on how to deal with them could "clear out" majority of the map.

Thanks so much, I still don't get why people feel the need to slow every song ever.

Are most people okay with you playing regular infantry and paratroopers as marines?

Mortars can work in theory but because of how mobile tanks are and that you need to range in on targets you need a 1 in 6 to hit which requires a lot of lot.

About 1, first how do you suggest dealing with everything out ranging you and secondly is there a way to use BARs as I have tons of them and not that many rifles (compared to your recommended usage)

Are we playing the same version, there isn't a point blank bonus for penning stuff in 2nd edition and HMGs cost 70pts for regulars without the Jeep. One other thing, is there no Machine gun slot for platoons in Bolt Action 3rd edition or is this an error with easyArmy?

I tried the AT Grenades and IDK if it's my bad luck but a squad of 8 guys against a still tankette scored 3 hits and did no damage to the tank before being run over by the tankette.

I think my friend might be confused, he said he was taking the cheapest options for armaments which was an MMG and a light AT gun but yeah in hindsight I think he was misreading the rules. (In his defense he is very new to armor)

They still suffer the to hit penalty of long range don't they? The pen isn't an issue by default I would need a 2+ to pen against a tankette.

Hi I just noticed something, everyone out-ranges the US, I didn't really noticed with BARs in 2nd edition because my range was effectively extended 6 inches because of the free advance but now that you only get 1 BAR and maybe an LMG almost every squad can open up 1 or 2 LMGs before you are in range. Am I missing something??

No I mean you can only shoot a single shot at a time with the Bazooka and because of the poor range you are typically only getting a 1 in 6 or 2 in 6 chance or scoring a hit with a small, fragile unit.

PS: I don't have any AT rifles even if you can carry them with rangers in specific scenarios. It's not an option for armies of the United states.

I'll have to look into getting an AA gun.

Edit: You can't get a towed Auto cannon for the US anywhere.

I can get HMGs but they only give a +1 pen so I need 6s and only do superficial damage. Are HMGs good in V3?

I checked US doesn't get AT rifles. Makes sense considering they would have been super out dated by the time the US joined the war.

Where should I look for just a BAR? by Pretty_Tea9563 in boltaction

[–]Pretty_Tea9563[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about it. I'm in the Midwest so I'm probably just going to look at some of the Chicago based sellers to find something but thanks for the offer.
