Damaging Buildings

[StainlessSteelCynic]

I don't think any of the GDW games had rules for damage to buildings although I recall that 2013 did have some that were very similar to, or a natural progression of, the rules from the old Aftermath game for that purpose.
I'll have to try and find my pdf of 2013 to check - worse comes to worst I'll download it again from my DriveThruRPG library!

There was a Challenge article for V1 that was still useful for the later T2K's.

Loren's article from Challenge #29, with building types and random condition table? It's useful, but doesn't have additional information on damaging buildings.

However, I found one at the old Aether Traveller that's fairly simple, but works. I think combining those in-game could work.

If you have the 2013 core rules, there's a section titled "Building And Rebuilding" starting on page 192. It covers aspects such as structural integrity and damage/demolition to buildings.

It wasn't quite as I remembered it but I've read through so many post-apocalyptic RPGs (it's a favourite genre) that I'm most likely getting confused between them all

I did a Thread on Barrier Ratings that involved reducing damage by points for penetrating objects but not damaging structures (If you look it up, remember that I use 1D6 for pistols and 1D10 for rifles when reading it).

I did have a vague idea about using the DAMAGE DICE (remember I use V2.2) modified by a weapon's PENETRATION to damage structures. So an M60 could inflict 4 hits on a building while an AK74 would do 2 hits. I could see rating each 1-meter stretch of wall with a Barrier Rating. Reduce this Rating to 0 and you blow a hole in the wall. Destroy enough of the structure and it collapses.

Unfortunately, this is all the thought I gave it.

Swag.
