Too Fat Lardies

The problem with -1 to hit for the HE dice is it is a *huge* reduction in the number of expected hits, way higher than any other penalty in the game. It reduces the expected number of hits by a third. If you applied it per shock point, then firing HE would drop by a third on the first shock point, t...

Hi Dirk, Seven Spears is a Dux Brit mod included in the Summer 2014 lard special. There are some resources for them in the groups.io files, the cards are all there and are also available through artscow. The only scenario, or most of one, I am aware of online is the detailed write up of the game at ...

Whoops! Yes indeed it does. I blame it on the wine I had with my dinner...

Not having played enough Infamy yet to internalise it, I think I slipped into Dux Brit...

In Sharp Practice the main mechanism by which fighting occurs is musketry, in which 6s only kill. Fisticuffs is much less common and is much more dangerous, so 6s kill and shock. In Infamy, the main mechanism by which fighting occurs is hand-to-hand, with shooting mostly being an irritant. So, in ha...

Have you looked at the Bronze Age Dux Brit in one of the specials, about 4 years ago IIRC?

I hope you have set them homework for while you are away!

Given that the turret was normally rotated 180 degrees before flailing, IIRC, none whatsoever. The only likely targets are not ones you would want to shoot at though!

In any case, there is no way they could see to shoot at anything to their front.

Hi, This Saturday would have been Wor Lard. :( Given the current situation, I do not know when I will be able to reschedule it. :( However, that is no reason not to make the best of the situation! I am therefore inviting you to a virtual hangout for the weekend. :D I have set up a discord server and...

My problem with them is that the effects are too *small* on an area the size of a CoC table and much too well controlled. Given the danger area of a single 81mm mortar round, and the likely variation in the fall of rounds from multiple mortars in a battery, the beaten zone for a mortar barrage like ...

Hi John, I enjoyed PATMOCON, although as you say there was too much to follow - I mostly hung out in the TFL and Sarissa areas and even then things clashed. The Discord server is gone now, so all the chats on there are lost unless someone more organised than me kept a copy. A lot of the external stu...
