Gday Guys,
So, continuing the discussions that Mr Morgan and I were having, we discussed the Jump packs and Infantry with Flamers.
Here's our rough ideas, open for discussion (please feel free to join in):
Rocket packs
(Mad Morgan) - First, only 1 use per game. During their first movement phase, they can travel 10" in any direction, over any non-tripod unit and any terrain. At any point in that movement, they may fire on non-tripod targets below their arc. Upon landing, they count as using their fire phase. Note that they may hold fire until the normal grounded fire phase. They have no 2nd movement phase after a 'rocket' phase, as they're busy trying to orient and discarding the rocket packs. The next turn, they are treated as normal infantry (with what ever weapon they carry (flamer/rifle etc.). As an optional limitation, they have only pistols at that point and may assault with grenades.
Against tripods, there is a different effect. I'm projecting a 40 foot top to they rocket height. So, they go toe-to-eye piece with the tripods and fire their flamethrower or use grenades (+2 Assault). Unfortunately, this a Forlorn Hope assault; remove them after results of the attack.
(My thoughts) – Id thought of something simple, they would be just like infantry, but the pack removes movement penalties and adds +4” to normal movement. Basically they become a fast moving unit.
I did have a thought after we had talked, expanding on the 1 use per game idea that Morgan had, what about the idea that you get the first jump as a guaranteed, then you had to roll for each subsequent jump. You'd have a base number and add the number of jumps, then roll over this number (ie: base # of 7 + 2 previous jumps = roll over 9).
Flamethrower/Infantry
(Mad Morgan) - R 10" +4 P RF 1 Spec: hits d3 (1-3=1 4-6=2 7-9=3 10=Explosion). Explosion destroys team and does a Barrage 1 AoE with +4 Power . This was my design for German infantry who are the only Blue Moon WW1 infantry with a flame thrower.
(My thoughts) - My only extra thoughts on this were similar to the jump pack, a limited (random) number of uses.
