I'm thinking about adapting the Harnmaster hit location tables to C&C - so a 20 becomes a critical success and a 1 becomes a critical failure. Still have to work some stuff out though.

Most of those threads were started in this forum and moved to the LA forum without any indication they ever existed here in Open Discussion. So then another one would be created etc.
