Infantry Weapons of the World (T2000 v2)

EnglischEnglish

With the second edition of Twilight: 2000 ¸ the combat system and small arms were radically changed. Unfortunately this necessitated scrapping the old weapons statistics. When the revision was issued¸ we needed not to try to include all the new ratings in the basic rules¸ but to include a wide enough selection of weapons to allow referees to recreate important armies. We also decided to publish new ratings for small arms as soon as possible. This book is the result. The appearance of Merc: 2000 and the imminent publication of Dark Conspiracy and Cadillacs & Dinosaurs means that players of these games (all of them based on the same basic system and thus using compatible weapons) will need a variety of weapons not necessary in the Twilight: 2000 universe. Infantry Weapons of the World addresses the needs of all of these games¸ in addition to serving as a basic resource for world small arms. Corrections: In rating the weapons for this edition¸ Frank and I took the opportunity to introduce a number of minor corrections¸ remove a few inconsistencies¸ and fine tune things a bit. These ratings are considered authoritative over the ratings in the basic game. One of the main differences was to increase damages for many pistol rounds¸ adjust some ranges for more realism¸ and introduce a little more distinction between some calibers (primarily between the.357 Magnum and the.44 Magnum).
