Mob shoot-out

[Sionnach Glic]

After just arriving home from seeing Public Enemies, I've got a strong urge to see people gunned down with Tommy Guns, shotguns and BARs. So I thought I'd make a game out of it.

Basicaly, one side plays a bunch of 1930's era mobsters holed up inside a safehouse. The other side plays an opposing gang with a grudge who wants to kill as many of the other team as possible. I'm thinking 4 characters per team, perhaps with one person controling more than one character if necessary.

Both sides will have the option to purchase different pieces of weaponary and equipment for use in combat, and to upgrade their character's stats prior to the battle.

So, anyone in?

[Nickswitz]

I already said I'd be in, I think this could be fun.

[Tsukiyumi]

Sounds good. Count me in.

[Tyyr]

Sure, why not.

[Panzer]

Mmm... BAR.
I'll have a go at it.

[Sionnach Glic]

For the record, the full list of guns available:
Thompson Submachine Gun
Browning Automatic Rifle
Winchester Model 1897 Shotgun
M1903 Springfield bolt-action rifle
M1911 Automatic Pistol*
M1917 Revolver*
Molotov Cocktails (not technicaly a gun, but meh)*

Anything with an asterisk can be dual-wielded, and you can feel free to buy as many guns as you can afford.

I might be in, time dependent.

[Nickswitz]

How much do we have, money-wise.

[Sionnach Glic]

Depends. I've got to work out stats for the guns, then price them relative to how powerful/useful they are.
Then there's other stuff I want to throw in, various bits of equipment, armour, and the ability to spend money to up your character's stats.

[Tyyr]

Thompson or a BAR, if only all questions in life were so deliciously difficult.

[Sionnach Glic]

Right. For now it looks like we've got five players.

I'm thinking four characters per team. With a few players randomly chosen to control two characters. Unless anyone else joins up, of course.

[Mark]

Count me in. I love the Thompson. Of all the summachine guns I've had the privilage to fire, the "Tommy Gun" is my favorite. It's a "ballsy" weapon, especially if it's properly loaded with a drum and not a mag.

[Reliant121]

If theres space, I'm in!

[Sionnach Glic]

That's 7 players with 8 characters. I'll start working everything out now. With luck, another person will join up in the meantime. If not, someone'll end up controlling two characters.

Stats and Upgrades

All characters have the same base stats.

Initiative: 3
Weapons Skill: 3
Strength: 5
Wounds: 10

Each of these stats can be upgraded by +1 (or +2 in the case of Wounds) for the cost of $50.
So, let me know what you want to buy or upgrade. Remember: purchased guns only come with 1 clip for free, so you'll need ammo too if you don't want to be reduced to clubbing a guy to death with your brand new BAR.
