hi im working on a .45 game based in the present/near future
it consists of a conflict between men and robots
the men are copplestone neo-sovs working in the artic at a research station
i have stats for the men and there weapons, what im having problems with is the
robots (copplestone terminators) i going to give them the ray gun weapon from fw
its short range should give the men time to pick them off, what i want to do is either make the robots have a high dr to sustain some of the flack there going to get, but not sure if this would make them to difficult to kill? or give them a force shield based around the broadsword method of using shields, what do you lafers think, has any of you used the shields in b/sword and if so how effective are they, what would you consider a workable
dr bearing in mind the men have available to them sub machine guns and assault rifles.
i want hopefully to build tension the nearer the robots get to the station and within range of there ray guns.
cheers ace67

Great ideas there.
If you want about a 50-50 chance to kill, up the DR on them to 9. If hit with WS 5, they will need a 6 or better to avoid the wound.
The idea of a force field is an interesting one. Roll 2 d10 and pick the higher when defending. It's more random in the save so your robots could either save a lot or very little.
Each one will provide a different feel so I'm not sure which is better.
