|
||
Note 1: Character must be erect to enter. Loses movement
|
||
capability for next segment.
|
||
|
||
Note 2: Character loses movement capability for the following
|
||
segment.
|
||
|
||
A) Character altitude
|
||
|
||
Normally a character is considered to be at the altitude equal
|
||
to the height of his head. Each body part is assigned an altitude
|
||
according to posture and terrain.
|
||
|
||
B) Line of Sight
|
||
|
||
Six Gun Shootout uses a line of sight to ensure you see only
|
||
what your character could see. Walls, etc. block your vision
|
||
making other characters seem invisible to your sight. Use V to
|
||
see your line of sight.
|
||
|
||
WEAPONS:
|
||
|
||
Characters may carry a maximum of 3 weapons. Only a weapon in
|
||
hand may be loaded, fired or used in combat. Some weapons must be
|
||
cocked or loaded often, thus making them un-ready after a
|
||
segment.

COMBAT:
|
||
|
||
A) Procedure
|
||
|
||
When it is a character's turn, and his weapon speed is fast
|
||
enough to allow him to fire during the segment, he may fire at an
|
||
opposing character. The target must be in range of the firing
|
||
weapon. After hitting 'F' for fire, the targeting cursor appears
|
||
on the firing character. Move the cursor by hitting the number of
|
||
the direction you wish by choosing from the direction table in
|
||
the lower right side of the screen. The cursor will cause a
|
||
status report for each character it moves over. When the
|
||
appropriate target is selected, hit <RET> then a '9' when it asks
|
||
for target again, to fire. 'X' will exit to cammand level again.
|
||
If an unloaded weapon is fired, the segment is lost and the
|
||
message CLICK is displayed. Hand to Hand combat works much the
|
||
same way, but the characters must be adjacent.
|
||
|
||
B) Hit Locations
|
||
|
||
Hit locations are determined mainly by the computer, though it
|
||
sometimes allows sharpshooting.
|
||
|
||
C) Wounds
|
||
|
||
Wounds can cause knockdowns, incapacitation, and death. A
|
||
character who has any part of the body reduced to 0 HP is knocked
|
||
prone. If the head or chest is reduced to 0 HP then the character
|
||
is dead and removed from the game. When a character has his gut
|
||
and any other part of the body reduced to 0 HP he is dead. When a
|
||
character has any combination of two of legs or arms at 0 HP then
|
||
the character is incapacitated and removed from the game.
|
||
|
||
D) Winning
|
||
|
||
The winner is the player with the most points at the end of
|
||
the scenario. Killing all the opposition does not insure victory.
