Just did one about an hour ago. Primarily fixes, like I've been doing lately, but also an update of the EE-T1 Osorio, and a total re-write of the British Centurion tank. (It's incredible how many just British variations of the Centurion there were, and I'm sure I didn't account for them all...)

[General Pain]

T63 and T56

[General Pain]

added 4 new selfpropelled artillery

2S3 Akatsiya 152mm SPA - Russia

It was "the Terror in Rapid City" - and no zombies , just a goverment experiment to chemically control the masses gone wrong - slaughter wrong..

But it was a good one -agreed.

Only problem with "zombie like massacre sessions " is that you have to wait for ages before doing another -or the shock wont register with the players -it becomes routine..

Also a must is to make sure that it only occurs when the characters are relatively low on ammo.

A formula for this would be :
number of enemy targets: X
number of PC ammo/rounds:Y
Number of PCs : Z

formula : Y= 1000X/ Z

did this make any sense ?

hehe

It reminds me of another session that involved "killer-mandrilles" in the sewers of NY, another government experiment...we barely survived that one....HQ do you not worrie that all of this Government Conspiracies Games you are running eventually inspire the US (or any other) to try some of you're ideas.

[pmulcahy11b]

Shhhh -- I'm testing something...

[pmulcahy11b]

Just a small one this time:

The Izhmash RPK-74 is updated -- I found out that they now make one in 7.62mm Kalashnikov

The 6.5mm CBJ round has been added to the Pistol, Revolver, and SMG rounds

And --

Took me a while, but a big re-write of the Chieftain tank.

[pmulcahy11b]

The Kovrov KORD was updated (I found out they are now offering it on the export market in .50 BMG), and the Molot NSV was updated in general.

In Czech Pistols, the CZ-45 Tomiska was updated -- primarily a nomenclature and history update.

In US Revolvers - Smith & Wesson 451-630, the Model 460460XVR was updated to account for the plethora of barrel lengths that were or are still offered, and because it can also fire .454 Casull and .45 Long Colt.

And -- in British Tanks, the Challenger was totally re-done.

Russian Rocket Launchers: The RPG-18, RPG-22, RPG-26, and RShG-2 have been combined into one entry, as they are all evolutionary updates of the RPG-18. The RPG-27 has also been updated (mostly because I originally arranged the tables in a dumb manner).

Small Caliber Small Arms Rounds: Updated the 5.45mm Kalashnikov and 5.56mm NATO were updated. Added -- 5.56mm IOFB. 5.66mm MPS Dart, 5.8mm Chinese, 6.5mm Grendel, and 6.8mm SPC.

And I finally popped into my web editor and put up a few more tidbits and changed one of the pictures and a few other changes under the hood.

Two updated orbats: the Pact overall (at Front/Army/Division level, the regimental and battalion level needs a little more cleaning up but is 95% there!) and the Iranians, both the Army and the Pasdaran.

And two new orbats: the Bulgarian People's Army and the Romanian Army. Both have some mobilization-only units that have never been seen in English! (And, unfortunately, some mobilization-only units that I was forced to use historical unit IDs on due to a complete lack of any information online in any language...).

And the Korean theater should be ready soon. I'm working out one issue with the ROK, and am only part way on the NKPA (which is a nightmare in itself!)

[General Pain]
