Grenades should have a set max range, maybe adjusted by a Trait.

Flamethrowers should have a set max range, with a modification to allow for greater range. Especially since you really don't lose accuracy with a flamethrower for going to its max range. Although it could have a 'sweet-spot' for damage output. Other questions it brings up:
  How far can zombies go after being set on fire?
  Do zombies care about being set on fire?
  What happens if you set a team-mate on fire?
  Will being attacked by a burning zombie set you on fire?
  How much do we really care about the real downsides and risks of a flamethrower vs the Cool Video Game Applications of it?

as much as i want to answer with what Kashyyk said, i have a duty to answer questions:

 How far can zombies go after being set on fire?
until it's HP runs out

  Do zombies care about being set on fire?
They feel no pain, so no

  What happens if you set a team-mate on fire?
Then you better but him out
 
Will being attacked by a burning zombie set you on fire?
Yes
  How much do we really care about the real downsides and risks of a flamethrower vs the Cool Video Game Applications of it?
You should care about how you use the flamethower, so things like friendly fire, firing inside a building, and explosive tanks should be considered before using it.

It's free.

You take it correctly.

So I think the overkill bonus outweighs the cost of the shotgun shells...

OK then here is how each turn works

Spoiler: Movement (click to show/hide)

each player can move a certain amount of tiles per turn. Some other uses of movement are going prone, moving objects, and manning/unmanning turrets/vehicles. going prone/unprone take up one M, and any movement while prone take up two movment, but gives the prone an accuracy bonus. you can't go prone and unprone in the same turn. moving objects take up 2 movement, unless someone helps or you have the Strong perk. after you prefrom an action, you can't move again

Spoiler: Actions (click to show/hide)

Some actions that can be done once per turn:

• Attack
• Throw (grenade or otherwise)
• Heal (self or other. does not need an item, but it helps)
• Give (you can give an unlimited amount of items, if you had that many)
• reload

Spoiler: Special (click to show/hide)

• Retreating: at anytime, you can leave through the doors at the top of the map. You'll live through the wave (unless the zombies get in or the others die) but you will not get money for that wave
• Ammo dump: If you are next to an ammo dump, you can take any ammo stored in it out. each Ammo dump can hold up to an unlimited amount of pistol ammo, and 50 small clips or 30 large clips of other ammo
• Imperial Credits: each wave, you have to kill a certain amount of zombies. each killed zombie add the amount to the pool, and after the wave, the pool is divided for each player (plus any extra from the scavenger perk)

[zchris13]

Name: Dorgon
Description (optional): Grey (80%) with yellow Stripes
Credits: Broke, naturally (+5 for being late?)
Perks:

• Crazy Prepared (+6 ep)
• Genre Savvy (+2 ep)
• Sharpshooter

Flaws:

• Selfish

Equip: (8+6+2)-(6+4+4+2)=16-16=0. Perfect.

• Pistol (free)
• 3 No. 76 Special Incendiary Grenades (-4 ep)
• 2 M67 Grenade (-2 ep)
  
• Combat Knife (-2 ep)
• 2 Bandoleers (+2 for style) (-4 ep)
• As many free ammo clips as I can carry

Bandoleers are underpowered. You could strap SO much more onto your chest. I did get that this was a bandoleer, Chewbacca style, right?
I mean, 3 clips or grenades, or 1 large clip instead of 2 small clips, and then a small clip or grenade, is a much more reasonable sum to expect to strap to your chest.

[Strife26]

I'll be gone from the 4th through the 9th, so I guess that if we start the next round, someone else can control Strife or he can go on auto-mode. He prefers careful, aimed shots to the head.

[Luke_Prowler]

map expanded. pick a spot (alphabet up top, numbers down the side. don't get too close to the edge, unless you want to be om nom nom'd on the first turn.)

I'm thinking of having strife wait out this wave. he lives, and more money for the rest. anyone else agree?

[Mephansteras]

If he'd rather have someone control him, I'm willing to run him while he's gone. If not, that's cool too.

[Pandarsenic]

On one hand, he has guns.

On the other hand, I do like money.

Hmmm....

Strife already has too much cash, but we have instructions to follow... We could easily enough just stick him in the depot picking off zombies at long range. And I am not too worried about the cash, but I haven't seen how much a powered morning star costs yet...
