Part 1 A Shattered dawn
The setting of twilight 2000.
World War III began five years ago. It’s still going on, but that’s the least of your problems.
A few days ago, you were soldiers in the U.S. 5th Division. Now you’re lost and alone, just fighting to

fan site hereHaving played this once before i'm makeing a few rulings now.
1) All player characters can speak english.

3) The need to buy Magazines will be ignored.
4) All ammo is used and purchased by the case, with rolls to see if you run out.
Ammo Tests
Good Ammo is uncommon and even when well supplied most fighters are unsure if there next round will fire, just go put or make the gun explode.
After using a gun you take an ammo test on a D6, to see if you run out of ammo.
Note that useing is not every single shot but a good part of a battle and after each test the passing roll goes up by 1 until you fail.
