>>974304
XP translates at a 1:1 directly into [Skills], so you can spend some time on the range or to pick up a few things.

Alternatively you can buy a point of Alacrity or a point of Vitality by spending XP = current rank.

TacPoints won't get'cha much, sorry Trooper. They're more for operational activities. They mean I can use this fancy console in this command APC to call down a Hellfire Drone Strike. Which is a certain kind of charming.

you only need to spend 9 Xp on Vit. Its the current level, not level you are raising it to. So 4 then 5.

>>974349
This is correct.

>>974347
Done.

>>974325
Should be good. We can have a look at it. A bit modified, single-shot high powered rifle.

Probably goes with all the ammo.

dammit, something comes up, takes longer than expected, and when you return the skirmish already ended.
fuck me.

>>974518
It was merely a short little prelude and a it of a test of your capabilities.

Stick around, and we'll see what happens NEXT TIME.

"My everything hurts."
>Sorry for missing so much, thanks for running.

Sounds like they're gearing up for a counter-attack. Preliminary suggests 3 Assault squads with 2 snipers in support.

We good to recieve them, Troopers?

>>976254
We should be. Do you know from where they'll come, Command ? Also, do you have extra smokers and grenades at the back of APC, I could use a resupply before we start.

>>976283
That's usually where we keep the Command Coffee, but go ahead.

"Ough, my head.
What happened?"

>>976326
Bullets, mostly. Think you can stand ? They'll be here for more soon.

>>976331
Im willing to give it a try, not like I have much choice in this line of work now do I?

Also, you think that 'bullet immunity' myth is true? Getting hit with smaller ones preparing you for the bigger calibers?
Because right now I surely hope it is.

>>976342
I'm sure it's real. Enough bullets, and you'll develop immunity.

We had a look at those sniper rifles, and it appears we can actively convert them to our cause.

also there were a few more hidden around the place. you're officially cleared for magshots.

And there they are, Troopers. Looks like 3 Assault Squads and 2 Sniper as back up. They really want this tiny village.

OH
THEY'VE GOT DEMO-CHARGES!

They're here to scramble that powerhub, that data processing core and that larger processing cluster! Must be something interesting on those if they send an entire hit-squad to do some industrial assassination.

Well, if the Chironan Corpers want it they can't have it! Troopers, go!

How to Run:
Do something you think is fun for yourself and interesting for your players. Games of this calibre are sustained by your monomaniacal madness and intent to focus on the gradual accomplishment of something.

Set up a setting, situation and story that could be enjoyable. Having a story and intention in mind helps a lot, because it helps your clarify purpose, fun and mechanics.

Pitfalls -

Dependent Dice Rolls are a bad thing. Everyone posts their action ahead of time, so having actions that rely on multiple stage rolling is terribly inconvenient ("Roll xxx stat. if you succeed, gain ppp thing when you do xxx").

Try not to have an overly mechanically complex sort of system, but have a few things that can helpfully answer a lot of WHAT IF. THe WHAT IF is 75% of the fun. I get a giant big great smile out of seeing what people come up with / try to do / attempt to fix a situation by doing.

>http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=Skirmish+quest

Read the archive for inspiration. People do things in lots of different ways.

---

General Tips:

Have a set phase timer and stick to it.
People's actons are theirs, never override or control what they actually do
have fair rules.

I run my games using a tablet, photshop, a prepared map and a layer with individual sprites. This is easier for me. You could probably do it all in Paint with a mouse if you wanted ( a cool spacecrawl did that ).

---

Don't worry about your art. It'll always be better than mine.

---

Mechanics aren't fun if they're obtuse, but they're no fun if there's no random involved at all.

---

Come up with a setting or idea first, some general thought. Mechanics follow from that. There's ten thousand ways to make small unit tactics fun, but you don't have to - how about a skirmish where everyone controls a mercenary warband? Or a legionairy maniple?

---

Personal pitfall: Schedule your time properly so you don't end up creating game you want to run, but don't have the actual time to finish properly
>VANGUARD
>INFIL
>Annyyyyy day now.

>>976292
One more advice from another skirmisher: don't run when sleepy. Even a tiny itsy-bitsy bit sleepy. You won't believe how many errors you'll make in that state.

>>979145
Also that.

---

Looks like the Corpers are coming back for a third merry go-around. And they're bringing the heavy units this time.

Right, Randwrith, maybe you focus on shooting, I'll focus on explosives.

What about us, Command?
Do we get something extra too?

The Corpers packed plenty of bullets.

We had to demolish one of the smaller huts to make way for moving in the scanning material and excavation tools. The technicians are set up already and siphoning off of the main power supply. That'll reduce our vulnerabilities are bit.

Unfortunately the Corpers will probably want to walk straight down this new highway we constructed, so it'll be a bit touch and go.

We do have the one fancy gift from Orbitact. They retrofitted the command APC with a designation controller for a drone bomber rack.

Mjolnir missile drones! My, it's almost like Orbitact actually wants us to celebrate christmas out here.

Really, troopers? No one? Well I guess we'll just let the Corper's walk right in and take all our scaning gear then.

Well Hellion and New Guy, looks like its on you until we mobilize the reserves.

The Corpers brought in Heavy units for this. They're mean, hard and slow. Function as mobile cover for anyone standing behind them too, and their armor rates an astounding 10 so your basic weaponry will hardly dent it.

If you can get behid them though, they're a bit more vulnerable and grenades won't care about their armor if it lands on the other side of their shields. And if you get real desperate, try a magshot. Should do the trick.

The technicians are counting on ya.

Sorry Trooper Dave, we don't issue combat axes to active personnel anymore. It turns out they're field ineffecient, and besides, the shovel doubles.

You would have to specify an allotment of movement and an allotment of attacking, from the basic combat standard of 2 actions.

Command appreciates the fervour. Real nice to see that kind of diehard enthusiasm is still a vaunted battlefield emotion.

It's all rather simple, really.

You create a unit from the general ruleset - which varies by game. In this case you are a TROOPER, and have /very/ few choices.

On player turns you take your actions, of which you have 2. You can move up to your alacrity stat (10), shoot or attack or punch or try to dig a hole with a shovel OR hit someone in the face with a shovel. The sky's the limit of your shovelling, or more practically, the length of your arms.

And then you take turns, the other side take turns, and at the end you're either down and we have to Reinstate you into a spare body, or you're alive and you've learned something while picking up a skill or two.

Your job is to sweep the patrol, get the bunkers and get the Officer in charge. Then we can ambush the next supply convoy through, ride it into town and pull the old Trojan Spelunking Horse Trick on these damn Corper bastards, and then we dig through six hundred tons of mountain and hook ourselves up with a spaceship.

So all you gotta do is clean this area.
