Tanglefoot grenades are used to create movement impairing magno-gravitic fields that
make it difficult to traverse the affected area.
Grenade: Grenades are treated as a special type of ranged weapon.
A Grenade may be thrown by an Active fighter as a Shoot action.
Grenades do not have a Short range, and their Long range
is determined by the attacking fighter's Strength. The Firepower
dice is not rolled when attacking with a Grenade; an Ammo check
must be rolled after each attack made with a Grenade.
The Reload (Simple) action cannot be taken on a weapon profile with the
Grenade trait.
Heavy-G: Mark the location on the battlefield where a Heavy-G attack hits with a counter. An area of increased gravity and magnetic interference extends 2.5'' out horizontally from the center of the counter, and extends infinitely vertically upwards and downwards (a cylinder). A marker placed at the center point plus use of a measuring device, or a 5'' Blast marker can be placed on the battlefield to mark the area.
All fighters and destructible objects within the affected area are hit by the Heavy-G attack. After the hit is resolved, a Heavy-G field remains in effect until it dissipates. In the End Phase roll a D6; on a 3 or less the area dissipates and the counter is removed.
Until the Heavy-G field dissipates fighters can move through the affected area, but all movement is halved (rounding down). If a fighter in a Heavy-G field must make an Initiative check to avoid falling, they gain a +1 bonus if they would fall away from the center of the Heavy-G area, or a -1 penalty if falling towards the center.
Ranged attacks across the affected area suffer a -1 penalty to hit and have their Strength reduced by 1. Finally, when an effect that use a Blast marker misses a target within 6'' of the affected area, instead of scattering randomly it is moved D6'' towards the Heavy-G area.
Limited: If an Ammo check is failed for a weapon profile with the Limited trait, the weapon profile is deleted from the fighter card immediately. Do not recalculate the fighter's Rating until the Update Roster step of the Post-Battle Sequence.
