Re: Car Chases and vehicle combat
Thank you to everyone for your replies. I appreciate it.
I think that you have a point about the Vehicle Sourcebook though I have to admit that I disagree--but it's a real mild disagreement. I took another look at my copy and can, more or less, see reasons for vehicle combat not being in it.
I do, however, totally agree that vehicle combat should, without a doubt, be in the Combat book. A combat book should cover all aspects of combat. That's what it's for. Hopefully, future editions will include the vehicle combat rules.
The combat rules in the rule book are kinda sorta ok and they should help me figure out how to do car chases with gun battles in my Pulp Hero games (I had forgotten they were there--thanks for reminding me). Maybe the 6th ed. will cover vehicle combat as well or nearly as well as the Ultimate Vehicle seems to (I read that section of it a long time ago from a book a friend loaned me but don't remember much of it).
At any rate, I'm going to have to work at and spend time with integrating vehicles in my pulp modules. I was hoping to avoid that much work and that much time. That's why I got the Combat book (hint, hint--politely speaking).
Any chance car chases/vehicle combat will ever be covered in DH?
One other thing about DH. Is there any way to have a search feature compiled for DH? That would make it possible for anyone (including me) to search for pulp articles and info, vehicle combat rules and strategies, or whatever else needed at the time without having to look through all 47 issues one by one (or however many issues there are at the time).
