Subject: DSII: Firer Down Chit for Infantry Question
I asked this question last week, but only got 1 response, & I'm not sure he understood my question. What happens when an infantry stand with a heavy weapon (GMS/L or LAD) gets a Firer system chit? Can the stand still fire? Since the "system" that's down in implied to be the vehicle electronics, how does this translate to Infantry? Thanks,

Basically, something's broke and, given some time, it might be able to be fixed.

Since a 'systems down' won't allow a vehicle to fire anything (I think not even APSW), then perhaps this could be a reasonable explanation for infantry (weapon jammed). Thus 'systems down' on a vehicle could imply weapons (all of 'em ;-) are jammed, too (all of 'em?!?). Mk

Personally I think the infantry in DS2 need all the help they can get. I'd ignore system downs for infantry. I Paul > At 11:14 AM 7/22/97 PDT, you wrote:

...Invalid when drawn AGAINST Infantry... Special chits are valid when the infantry DRAWS them, Including _Firer Down_. This mostly represents the chance of malfunctions & dud rounds, otherwise infantry would be the most efficient GMS/assault troops in the game for minimum points. (No dud shots? bring on the swarm!)
