Dear All,

Thanks for the replys, some good thoughts:

No I wouldn't, over those small distances it would be unlikely to spoil the
stabilisation, and anyway vehicles fry pretty quick anyway!

> Would you allow troops with special weapon stabilizing gear to move

No, I wouldn't simply because they would then loose any benefit from being
still, I think that no matter how stable the weapons platform, if it is still
power armour and not an infactry mecha unit, there will be an advantage to
staying still.

Well this is my point, if you have a longer time to stop and wait for the
sweet shot you have a better chance of hitting the target, whereas if you
merelysqueeze off a few rounds after you hit the piece of cover and then

dash on again, then you will not be getting much of a chance to aim etc.

What d'ya think

Well, I'm not sure if I got what you meant about vehicles, whether you would
give them the benefit of being still or not. I think you said, "no". Perhaps
they should have the benefit of being still ALL the time, if stabilized? I can
go either way on that.

Otherwise, all I can say is, "Playtest it, and let us know how it went!"
