Congreve Rocket Guns, do we have this right?
« on: July 09, 2013, 05:37:40 PM »
Fired off one of these bad-boys for the first time during last night's game and wanted to be sure we didn't abuse any of our club mates unfairly! We found this weapon to be redoubtable, heinous, a menace to crowds... Worth every penny.

Did we get it right?

Congreve Rocket Gun:
  • Fires only gas or explosive grenades, that seems clear enough; no fire bombs...
  • One must buy each grenade separately, and at +1 point to the regular cost.
  • We followed the basic grenade rules 3.3.7, aiming at a spot on the table up to 18" away and added the +3 bonus to the "thrower's" SV.
  • Any hit was resolved as a regular grenade, but we added the Rocket Gun's -1 Pluck Modifier to the grenade's Pluck Modifier for a net -2PM.

Until you hear from the man in charge, I can assure you that your way is exactly the way I played it.

Your way seems perfectly acceptable...

... however, we don't double the Pluck modifier. The +3 reflects the build quality, accuracy and power of this marvellous British weapon. However, the payload is still a grenade when all is said and done.

Sounds grand. Leaving the Pluck Mod. at -1 just makes sense. The thing is a killer at -2.

The -1 in the CRG's stat line had us excited.  ;D
