 | | 'Mech Damage Question

Hello, I have a question. I guess my other post on this didn't get thru. I played a game of BrikWars Sunday. We played 10 troopers and a singel 'Mech each. I'm using the Robitic Vehicles rules. The damage rules for 'Mechs seems kind of unclear. How (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.gaming.brikwars)

Hello - I played my second game of BrikWars today. A simple game of 10 troopers and a single mech on each side fighting over a field with some stonewalls and trees. It went well. Several questions came up. Almost all of them about how mecha take (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.gaming)

(...) Well, no. Dismasting a ship was probably the easiest way - the opposing ship couldn't manuever to make an effective broadside while you can. You don't do that with grapeshot. Further, grapeshot was only really effective from close range, and (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.gaming, FTX)
