First, I thought it was time to have a place other than Facebook where folks can ask rules questions, etc., so I have created this thread.   Especially as I know some folks don't like Facebook.

Second, I wanted to thanks Mr. Bews and the others who make Lead Adventure one of the most diverse and dynamic forums out there.  It's hard to beat the level of gentlemanly, and ladylike, discourse.  I am both pleasantly surprised by the number of TNT threads and humbled by the hobby content.  

Second, I will endeavor to check this thread often and answer your queries as best I can.  So if you have a query burning a hole in your brain, say like a rad worm, then ask away.

Thank you very much.

Awesome!

I'll jump right in and add a link to your excellent and well-nigh comprehensive FAQ, hosted at World's End Publishing.

Our group managed to find enough answers in the FAQ that we decided to put together a slightly abridged .pdf version of the TNT FAQ just to keep it handy.

Especially as I know some folks don't like Facebook.
Yeah, that'd be me.  ;D

So if you have a query burning a hole in your brain....

Are there any plans to produce a printed copy of the rulebook? I loathe PDF's almost as much as I detest Facebook... almost...  ;)
...and what fresh new hell is this?

Got a quote from a local copy store, $30 printed in black and white with plastic covers front and back with wire binding.

Really, they could put it on one of those "order a book to print sites" like how Supersystem 4 did...I ordered one.

Since you asked so nicely...



There will also be special edition miniatures and some other neat stuff.  We aim to keep it low key and achievable.  Please spread far and wide if you would kindly.  

All the best.

I may very well support this. Though that will mean having to buy post apocalyptic miniaturs.

Oooh, I'll have to watch this space then, I'm sure there will be rules questions as my brain works about half as well as it used to after these kids showed up :P

This may seem redundant, but I think we have been doing this wrong...  o_o

If a model with a Burst capable weapon fails an Activation test and then spends its 1 AP to shoot, does it get the additional 'burst' AP to fire the weapon?

We have been playing you need to spend 2AP to get the additional AP, but as our buddy Phil pointed out the rule states you only need to spend all available AP...

We've played it that if you spend your 1 AP to shoot a Burst, you get a second shot. But this may not be intended... curious to hear.

Your buddy has the right of it.  As long as you spend all available AP, you get two shots with a Burst weapon on any turn you receive just 1 AP.   This also counts for models on old.   This is why Burst weapons tend to be a little more pricey and theri high reliability score.

Makes sense, and we played this way during our last game. Have to say I enjoyed it a lot. Made for a very 'engaging' session.

Barring any disasters, this is one KickStarter I am highly likely to support.
