A Trio of Trouble

I decided to play around with skirmish rules Saturday morning using a three-way gunfight (loosely inspired by this). I am using some sci-fi figures from Rebel Minis.

The adversaries - Red (left), Black Widow (middle), Buck (right)

 Note - for the purposes of this scenario I assumed they were armed and armored the same - laser pistols and light armor. So no WYSIWYG.

Buck acts first, shooting at Black Widow but missing. Red advances on Buck and also misses. Black Widow sidles to Red's side. Her shot wounds him.

This time Black Widow fires first, killing Red. Again, Buck misses Black Widow.

The adversaries close. Black Widow grazes Buck; he is rattled and misses one more time.

After another round of misses, Buck gets even closer, and still misses! Black Widow doesn't. That's the end of Buck.

For this take, I borrowed the action point mechanism from Munera Sine Missione but used a 2D6 combat mechanism (a la the original Traveller rpg).
