I am working on a major solo campaign, starting 31 August 1914 and proceeding onto the end of war in 1918. Maybe further as some of the minor powers afterwards. The campaign works so fair, with cards instead of models.
However the early days are somewhat annoying. The early birds without synchronized machine guns, just roll a d6 with odd affecting the target, even you take the damage. But, combat with pistol and rifle is awkward. So far I am working on the idea that without stabilizing weapons, that the pistols and rifles just will not reach out and readily touch someone beyond half a ruler.
But my problem is what damage? a d12-6 for rifles, a d10-6 for pistols? In either case a zero or less damage is a zero.
Any ideas?
Oh and while I am begging for help, any sources for Taubes, Berloits or other 1914 birds on cards?
