TNE Combat just doesn't work right.
I've had a few game sessions now involving combat and there is
something seriously wrong with the weapon penetrations.
Why won't my snub pistol firing HE or HEAP penetrate the simplest
form of body armour (ie 1 point bullet proof vest) after all that's
what HEAP was developed for the pistol to do.
I tried the variations (instant knockdown on head/chest wound, stunned
from first scratch, inflict enough wounds to reduce initiative to zero,
roll d10 or d20) but none of it works.
The weapons just don't do any damage.
In one case I shot the guy 5 times and he just kept shooting me. In
frustration I did a flying kick (successfully) and knocked the guy
down. Wow, I did more damage by kicking him than I had done with
5 HEAP bullets fired (and hitting) at point blank range.
The tables are WRONG. I tried some variations to make the tables
work but they don't.
I like the rest of the game but I just can't come to grips with this
combat system any more.
Can somebody post some sample firefights (and calculations) with a
variety of weapons to show me that I'm not reading the rules right
or where I'm going wrong?
