[QUOTE="deltadave, post: 2097739, member: 13875"] I think that my favorite firefight in a modern game happened in the back of a 2 1/2 ton truck. 5 people were flailing away with AK 47s, but due to the wild swerving of the truck, everyone ran out of ammo and was reduced to clubbing each other with the empty weapons. Was a wild flight with people flinching every time I rolled a die, they knew that if I hit at that range it was going to be messy. The players were definitely panicking, as they were trying to escape and couldn't manage to kill the NPC's. To the character in a chase vehicle it looked as if a hundred photo flashes were going off in the back of the truck, I sent him into the other room when it wasn't his turn so that he wouldn't know what was going on. He kept coming back in expecting to see players sitting dejected, but everyone was really stoked. The canvas cover caught fire and eventually the driver was killed and the truck crashed. Almost everyone walked away, but a couple of them had to be carried, most of them somewhat worse for wear. The best part of the whole thing was the look on everyone's faces as I rolled attack rolls, they kind of squinched up their eyes and turned their heads away waiting for the hammer to fall.... he he he [/QUOTE]
