Introducing a gun Jam Token

[tikkifriend]

Having just read a succession of WWII pilots accounts of their actions I did notice that on more than one occasion they or their fellow fliers encountered a gun or cannon jam. Admittedly not too often but never the less it did happen. I am considering introducing 1 gun/cannon jam counter for each of the damage groups. The effect would be as follows .

On a role of a D12
1-3 6 card jam.
4-9 3 card jam.
1-12 Total jam, RTB for repairs.

Just wondering whether anyone else has tried this or something similar as a House Rule.

I am also working under the idea for limited canon ammo. The firers choice to fire MG's, MG's + Canon, Canon only. Using the A damage chit system if a gun jam comes up.
ie: Firer chooses MG's only and his gun jams draw an A damage chit. Number damage only refers to jammed chits for that weapon system.
Firer chooses to fire MG's and canon and his gun jams. As above draw an A damage chit. Number damage refers to jammed chits for both sytems.

In both cases if an explosion is drawn then that system is out of ammo.

I should have added that I am going to employ this in the SOLO campaign fire in the skies.

In response to your 'Wish I had a snappy quote', what about 'I knew that curry was hot last night!'

Not bad Neil. Looking forward to one in September, a real one that is none of this Namby Pamby French spicy water stuff.

I've been playing jam cards as per rules but do have a random event table that has jams that turn A guns into B, and has a jam or two worse than the normal ones.
