Subject: Thoughts on SLAMs for SG2 [SG2]
SLAM: Come in size 3-5. Fired direct fire, but with a kind of special resolution. I initially looked at Arty resolution, but figured with a DF weapon that the rolling vs. leadership made little sense. So.... Designate a target point. Roll Crew Quality Die vs. Raw Range Die. No terrain or other effects. (Except blocked LOS of course!) Raw Range die is 0-12" d4 12"-24" d6 24"-36" d8 36"-48" d10 48"=60" d12 If Crew Quality Die > Raw Range Die, impact on target point. If Crew Quality Die =< Raw Range Die, impact deviates. Direction D12 Distance is 1 roll of Raw Range Die. (Further away you are, the further you are likely to deviate). Impact is as artillery (GPE, Anti-Armour, Anti-Personnel depending on weapons load out). Beaten zone is (Size Class)" x (2 times Size Class)". That is, a SLAM/3 has a beaten zone 3x6, and a SLAM/5 has a beaten zone 5x10. I think this is fair, given that under this system the Impact is a constant. Just the area is bigger (more rockets saturating a wider area). Thoughts? /************************************************
