Rules
Tribes 2 is a team based FPS from Sierra, it had a huge following with thousands of player doing battle every night, what follows is my attempt to port this to a table top battle game.
I've chosen Warhammer 40k 2nd Ed because it easy and quick to use, especially as I've cut all the hand to hand combat and psychology out.
Setting up for the game is very simple, decide how many players (figures)
you want on each side, then each team has five spawn spots, one base turret, one
generator , one inventory station and one flag marker for their base.
The
Generator can take 25 points of damage before blowing, if it does so, no player
may use an inventory station until it is repaired, also the base turret will not
work.
The Inventory stations can take 20 points of damage until they're
rendered inoperable, they must then be repaired before they can be used again.
All rules unless otherwise stated are exactley the same as W40k 2nd Ed.
Movement:
there is only basic movement no running (x2 M)
Jams: Jam indicators on the
Sustained fire dice have no effect, weapons do not jam.
The only stats that matter are displayed below, many are omited as there isnt any Hand to Hand combat nor psychology rule.
| M | BS | T | W |
| as per Armour | 3 | 3 | 10 |
Ammo rolls : If a 1 is rolled on a 'To Hit' roll you must then roll another D6, if this second roll is a 4+ then that weapon has run out of ammo and you must return to an Inventory Station to re-stock. If the weapon is energy based it has run out of power and you must not move for one turn to recharge it.
Once a player has been killed he will respawn at, surprisingly, a spawn spot, with the basic load out.
Basic Load Out: Scout armour, Blaster, Spinfusor, Chaingun, 5 basic grenades and one Health Kit.
Optional Experience Rules
You start off only being able to wear the Scout armour and must gain a good
rep to advance onto the other armours.
Each kill = +2 Rep points
Each
death = -1 Rep points
Taking / Returning Flag = +1 point
Scoring = +3
points
Teamkill = -2 points
10 Rep points = Assault Armour
20 Rep
points = Juggernaut Armour
Disclamer: Warhammer belongs to Games Workshop and Tribes 2 belongs to Sierra and the crap layout of the following pages is so that you can print them out onto A4 sheets.
