House rule Survivability

Since we started playing i have issue with one thing in Sabre Squadron, and according to forums i wasnt only one and that was survivability of AFVs since rounds starting firing especially with big cats (Abrams, T-80s ...) every shot is almost guaranteed kill.

And since the Nick author of game is in touch with community he developed solution for this problem and make game more enjoyble



Instead on rolling on Protection and Effects (8.4.4 page 52) roll on following table

1. After an AFV is hit, deduct the Protection from the Firepower.

2. Roll 1D10 and add the number from 1. above.

3. A result of 8+ = KO
6-7 = Neutralised (if 7 and VS roll for KO)
5 or less = Suppressed

this rule does increase survivability of armoured vehicles however there is still big chance that your tank will be destroyed if hit, so use hulldown positions where ever it is possible.

About hulldown positions and how to effectivly use them we will talk in future articles

Tally ho!
