My initial reaction to the standard ranged combat test is tepid. I fully support the active dodge rules, but the idea that everyone gets to actively oppose gunfire from 200 yards with their Reaction rubs me the wrong way. I noticed they suggest an alternate unopposed resolution system where you increase the Threshold to compensate for the lack of the opposed Reaction roll. I'm looking for anecdotes from people who have used this alternate resolution system. Does it work well. Better or worse than the standard, in your opinion. How do you determine the Thresholds? That sort of thing. Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks in advance. |
