new blackpowder artillery piece

swivel gun various calibers doc.

yep - the artillery of everyman in the days yonder -every skip with self esteem would have one no matter how humble his craft and every trading post worth its salt would cover the main gate with one or loose the confidence of customers all over .

As for T2k?

Having a giant smoothbore shotgun like appliance ready to shred whomever tries to assault your little yeomanry or the doors of your fortified appartment block seems like a good idea to me .Ammo is cheap and the technology to make one isnt too complicated .In fact disposable ones can be made from pieces of steel piping -as long as the shooter has a long stick to liight the fuze or a lot of faith..a lot ..hehe

[pmulcahy11b]

I'm not that good at coming up with the blackpowder stuff (TR was, and had several pieces on his site), but you're right, HQ -- blackpowder weapons might make a comeback in a T2K timeline for about 20 years or so, especially among civilians. You might even see some conversions of bolt-action weapons into inlines.

Ok, I did a long-delayed update to my site (http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeedox4/index.html ): (kato fixed your link)

first, new graphics on a lot of pages to drool over
trimmed out a few dead links and added a few new ones
split the ship designs onto their own page.
updated the Warsaw Pact orbat to the latest version
added the DC Working Group's documents on the front page (unless they fit in somewhere else, like the naval war or air forces pages)

Enjoy!

Hello Paul

I ran in the Rooikat ZA-35 today. For once, I didn't find it in your site (I didn't think that was possible). If you are interested in it here is a link to its characteristics.

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

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.

[General Pain]

Been working a lot on my Merc Campaign so site updates have been few... but today I put on some "Willie Colon & Hector Lavoe" had a delicious cuba libre and made one new contribution to the site...

http://thebigbookofwar.50megs.com/DO...France%20).doc

..seems I allready had made a doc..but the new one is with experimental PainTek (fictional) designs (9mm,10mm,12mm,12 gauge)

[chico20854]

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]

[ArmySGT.]

Did you guys catch in the news that the US Army is purchasing several hundred or more Carl Gustaf Rocket launchers. These will be used in place of the far more expensive javelin system for engaging insurgent positions in hardened shelters.

I believe the thermobaric round is going to be the primary vs. HE or HEAT.

[Legbreaker]

Technically it's a recoilless rifle and believe me, you do NOT want to fire one with a hangover!!!
