Just got my copy of Strange Aeons

I am pretty sure you can only dual handguns - so .45 and .22 in any combination your heart desires.

And cheers on two-man clarification, a civilian costs just as much as a hero skill, but if he dies you get a free re-equipment chance!

But how much more fun is it to gun a goon down with a hail of .45's from both a SMG and a handgun???

As for civvies as loaders, I have sent countless civvies to their doom solely because it allows for a re-equip.

Playing by the book, you can only fire two handguns (.22 or .45) with a single Shoot Action.  Don't think our game is quite pulpy enough to see any Where Eagles Dare-style two-handed machine gunning.  However, there's nothing saying you can't equip a model with whatever firearms you like for flexibility, and you can fire different weapons on one turn if you want, provided you use a separate Action for each.

Playing by the book...

I am not aware of this concept...can you elaborate?

.... RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW,....   RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW,....   RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW, RAW,
It's a chant of some kind... I can't quite make it out. Think I failed my knowledge roll.. Nothing for it but to start lobbing these flasks of nitroglycerine!

'Cause I really liked that figure when I played with it here in Vancouver.

My model with the Thompson and Colt is easily my favorite, and I think one of the best UMW sculpts. Hell, I like the sculpt better than a lot of Murch and Copplestone stuff. It's really quite good.

The 3rd one from the left?  Handsome devil ain't he?!

I'd like to personally thank you for completely trouncing my model's paint job. I need to go sob uncontrollably in the corner for a few moments now....

[Mr. Peabody]

Oh, one question regarding .30cal...when you use it, you don't have to nominate the guy in base to base with the shooter to shoot? And I guess the one base to base can still use his own weapons?

This guy in base to base, can any or all of his actions be spent to satisfy the 'Ready' special action for the chap with the .30?

I'm thinking not, because 'Ready' actions "can't be carried over" but just wanted to put it out there...

Not like the .30 isn't already a bit of a ripper.

I just picked up my second copy of Strange Aeons. I started working on a plasticville church for my games as well.
