GURPS Combat Example: Ambush at Eagle's Ridge

     As I have finally finished version 3 of my house rules, I decided to rewrite my last article for my expanded rules; this time maybe fate will prevent our heroes from surviving! Last time, this series proved to me that it was pretty fun writing this stuff up, so I might turn this into a series if I happen into a lot of free time. The write-ups are shortened as most of the stuff was simply to show how characters are built in ways that makes them effective in combat as well as fine for role-playing. The background for this one is that Mark of Thalm is on a stroll when he is ambushed; nothing complex.

GURPS Combat Example: Skirmish at Eagle's Ridge

    In this blog post, I will narrate a short skirmish and go in-depth into combat rules. If I miss anything, please let me know, so I can go back and correct it, or at least make a note of it. Characters' Status and Rank are not deducted from their point totals in this scenario, however, if you wish to replicate the characters, adjust their point totals accordingly to reflect that. Characters on Team 2 all use the character sheet of Dietrich. This entire combat was a turn of luck after a turn of luck on either side, and was truly riveting to play out. I am looking forward to playing out more!
