OK, so, I just saw the new A-team movie. First, 100% Pink Mohawk!
Second, though, there is the sequence where, when the tank they have bailed out of a c-130 in has lost two of its 3 chutes, they use the recoil from the cannon to "steer" it so they will land in a lake, and then use the recoil from firing repeatedly to slow the fall down even more. While I know this likely makes physics curl up into a fetal position and cry, I am wondering: 1) Jason, if you read this, are we going to see rules for "flying a tank" in War! ? 2) If not, how would other people handle the rolls for doing such a feat if it were to happen in their game? (Please! No saying "They burn a point of permanent edge." I want there to be honest to goodness rolls and skills involved, so that a viewing Corp Baddy can be "What the hell are those madmen doing?") |
