Subject: Re: (DS): Systems per Class
I was criticized off list and live in person for this kind of design.
"Reality" was the 'reason' - "nobody does that in real life, it's one
missile at a time ' - and the actual design was never fielded but only
an 'on paper' developed Size 5 vehicle with 5 GMS/Hs and a Fire Team
(just for s... kicks... and grins) each using a GMS/L as a platoon of
Ultra Heavy Tank Destroyers.
The argument was that no vehicle could survive picking 5 chits five
times
if so this was cheese. Guess they never figured how likely a 'firer
system down' chit would be in 25 chits. This person also insisted
previously that multiple GMS did not come in individually but one die
roll for the 'salvo' until I showed this design. Then they wanted 5
rolls... they felt failure meant no chance of surviving the damage. I
love baiting munchkins. It's a sin but I am a fallen creature so it
comes naturally. It's also too much fun to pass up.
Gracias,
Glenn
