Motorcycles?
« on: 09 April 2012, 12:08:07 AM »
Hello,

I've had the T&T rules for quite some time now and I really like them! Are there any rules out there for the use of motorcycles? Point costs? Special rules? etc.? I've looked around but can't seem to find any on the forum.  :?

Thanks,

Cadet13

Hi,

thanks for this thread !

Here are some thoughts for a start.
 
I think a motorcycle needs a damage table on its own.

Maybe its harder to hit by some weapons but the damage effect is more devastating.

There must be single motorcycles and with  sidecars. The side car may be equipped with a weapon.

Points cost same as an automobile.

More contributions appreciated

Cheers
Björn

Not really the best at modifying rules, but here's my crack at it :)

1.) All Small Arms take a -1 on their to-hit rolls vs. a motorcycle (Does not effect Heavy Weapons)

2.) No attacking unit takes the +1 for firing at a "large target" like they would if they shot at an automobile.

3.) Motorcycle Damage Table

d10 Result               Motorcycle
1...........................Motor Hit
2...........................Motor Hit
3...........................Tire Hit
4...........................Tire Hit
5...........................Crew/Passenger Hit
6...........................Crew/Passenger Hit
7...........................Crew/Passenger Hit
8...........................Crew/Passenger Hit
9...........................Weapon Hit*
10.........................No Effect

*Only applies if the motorcycle has a sidecar attached. If no sidecar, then this result counts as "No Effect."


How does this seem? Any more thoughts?

My vehicle builder on the T&T website covers motorcycles, but I forgot sidecars! Shame on me. A side car would add 3 more capacity spaces and a motorcycle is now 2 spaces not 3.

I like the idea of a separate damage table and I think harder to hit but more flimsy evens out points wise so no need to change points.
He that trades Liberty for Security will soon find that he has neither.
