In the "actual game" we could (a) assume I "paid for the gun" and then got the martial strike for 1/3rd the cost--which is within keeping of the rules but not exactly how I did things here or (b) just assume the gun and her hover-car and whatever are free (which is what I did assume).<br /><br />My experience with gunslingers is that it DOES pay to be able to fight hand-to-hand. While guns in JAGS are less deadly statistically than in real life (although only somewhat if you are dealing with absolutely normal people and using the near-instant-kill as your measure) they are deadly enough that you benefit from having HTH attacks.<br /><br />Also, having 2-dimensional combat strategy is just plain more fun than only being able to really shoot people.<br /><br />So, yes: I think it's worth it.Marcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01280274659630509724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8924272278497773207.post-22489810895575012792013-01-23T16:49:41.366-08:002013-01-23T16:49:41.366-08:00Question for you, Marco.

Would it come up often enough to justify that price, given the gun will probably be doing not overly less damage (assuming the technology is such they're doing something a bit better than a conventional 9mm)?Thomas5251212https://www.blogger.com/profile/03782253877619118041noreply@blogger.com
