Integrating Mongoose 1st ed Firearms/Armour with Mongoose 2nd ed games

[ChalkLine]

I'm coming back after a long hiatus and dusting off my salvaging campaign. I remember last time I was underwhelmed by the 2nd ed firearms/armour and I'm thinking of using the more comprehensive 1st ed ones. Has anyone done this? Did they come up against any problems?

I mix 1st and 2nd edition together all the time. Never a problem yet.

There are a few things to note.

Some of the 2ed armors are better than the 1st ed variant.

Auto rating of 1st edition = 1/2 Auto rating of 2nd edition.

I.e. Auto 4 in 1st = net 2 attacks. Auto 2 on 2nd ed = net 2 attacks.

Thanks for that, that'll be very useful and it's exactly the sort of thing I was wondering about.

Quick note here - we reduced the number of firearms because we wanted CSC to be more than just a gun catalogue. However, we have a book in the works right now that will just what you are looking for, I believe. It not only brings a lot of new weapons into the game but has rules for modifying every weapon...

Ten percent size decrease for high technologized variants.
