Title: Questions on fuses..
Post by: wcho035 on September 20, 2019, 08:25:59 am

Hi, I have been reading up on the fuses in the ruleset. I am not a 100% in the understanding of its purpose.

Could one transform an ordinary ammo type, say grenade launcher ammo, into an IDE with its battletype remain the ammo type?

Interesting.. I was thinking of doing an ammo type that is a flare you fire off from a grenade launcher. I don’t believe the game can do it. Oh well, I will let my imagination to cook up something for it.
