Invalid dice code!A few samples:
Marcao Vessal is in a shootout with BRF gunmen. They are engaging him with assault rifles while all he has is his trusty 13mm Paxton Collins revolver. Two thugs have him pinned down behind a bar. Marcao is at medium range with his pistol, while the thugs are at short range for their rifles. Marcao is lucky enough that the bartender had his bar armored, so it counts as heavy cover. Marcao first needs to roll for initiative:
Marcao: Combat Sense (PER +1):
We'll assume that he goes first. This is roughly what a player post should look like:
Marcao: Small Arms (AGI +2) (DM x25) Medium range -1
BRF Thug #1: Defense (AGI +1) (STA 25 + Armor 15: Light 28, Deep 40, Overkill 65) Stationary -1, Behind light cover (Bar doors) +1
Now, let's assume that the other thug gets his shot in, the GM's post will look like this:
BRF Thug #2: Small Arms (AGI +1) (DM x28) Short range 0
Marcao: Defense (AGI +2) (STA 30 + Armor 20: Light 35, Deep 50, Overkill 80) Stationary -1, Heavy Cover +3
PS: Have you hugged your cover today?
Edit: By request, vehicular combat.
Lt. Keiji Kage of the Peace River Defense Force is supporting the Black Pigs by clearing a path through several enemy Gears. Keiji is piloting a Warrior IV, the Riverian analog of a Jaguar or Black Mamba. The enemies are a group of Hunters operated by Badlands Rovers.
First off, initiative:
Keiji: Leadership (INF +0)
Again, we'll assume he won against the scrubs. He opens fire with his Medium Autocannon at a Hunter that is at medium range with a single shot. He is moving at combat speed for his walker mode and is on clear terrain (5 Hexes)
Keiji: HG Gunnery (PER +2) FireCon +1 Medium Range -1 Combat Speed 0 DM x10
Hunter: HG Piloting (AGI +1) Manuever 0, Combat Speed (walker) 4 hexes -1, Armor 15
One of the Hunters then shoots back with its Light Autocannon at Keiji who is in medium range
Hunter: HG Gunnery (PER +1) Medium range -1, combat speed 0, DM x8
Keiji: HG Piloting (AGI +2) Manuever 0, Combat Speed 6 hexes 0, Armor 17
