Knifes

[kcdusk]

Times have changed, times are tougher than ever before. Ammo is short. Soooooo ....

How often do knife fights happen in your T2K game?

Do you have any home-brew knife fighting rules?

Knife damage strikes me as mainly being nics and cuts, with a chance of real damage (more than a bullet).

Using a combat system that is originally a melee system has made melee combat fun in my campaigns but admittedly it's rare in T2K. I've seen PCs use various knives, a Chinese sword, a hatchet, an entrenching tool and on one occasion a fireman's axe. Brutal stuff.

have melee rules on our site ( house rules)

its a mix of T2k v.2 and other rules I guess.

Instead of your 1 attack you get a number derived from skill and what weapon you are using.

I.e a knife has many more rapid attacks than a footmans pike. Pike goes first though - due to range.

Melee is fairly common I guess - but it is rarely a melee only. Guns go off left and right all the way.

One of our guys in my college campaign had his character carry a Bowie knife and a throwing axe (the guy playing him was an American Indian himself) - which he used several times during our time in Poland, Germany and back in the States. They were great down and dirty weapons in close range fights, of which we had several.

I am right now doing up stats for knives. They're not melee rules, but will differentiate knives.

Looking in my collection for ideas. I possess an M3,various MK2's, M7, Gerber MK1,2,3, Marine M10, SEAL knife, Aircrew knives, a Mk1 navy knife from my grandpa. All models have been used by GIs some where. A couple of Ghurka kukris and a Woodsman pal(there was a fighting manual in WWII). Chinese replica M1, M1905 as well. I'm excited to see what Paul comes up with!
