Trying a confrontation with 5150 rules

[brunop]

Still trying to learn the rules, I tried a confrontation.


My team of 4:
Matthaius (star) - Rep 5, B-2
Samuel - Rep 3, P-1
Sarah - Rep 3, P-1, Crack Shot
Isaac - Rep 4, P-1


The oppponents, using the table for gangers found on page 162
- I roll a 2 for the number of opponents, so 1 less, 3 gangers
- Roll for the leader, a 3, so the gangers are:

A - Ganger, Rep 4, B-2
B- Ganger, Rep 3, A-3
C - Thief, Rep 4, P-1


Placing them on the battle board per the rules:
 B            A           C

Sam      Matt      Sarah      Isaac



ROUND 1:
Rolling for advantage: 5, Gangers have the advantage
Rolling on the action table Both pass 2d6, so gangers Act first.


Targeting first shot:
B shoot at sam
A, shoot at Matt
C, shoot at Sarah.


Targeting second shot:
B shoot at Isaac (Can't shoot at the same target unless all opponents have been targeted once
A shoot at Matt

Targeting third shot:
B shoot at Sam (I suppose you can't shoot at a target a 3rd time unless every target was shot at 2 times?)

Resolving the actions:
1- B shoot twice at Sam and once at Isaac, roll a 2 and a 5, so pass 1d6. Sam is hit 2 times, but miss Isaac who will return fire. Rolling damage for Sam: Two 5's, +2 since Sam doesn't have armor. Sam is Obviously Dead.
2- Isaac return fire, 2 and 4, a hit. Damage: 1, +2 because target has no armor, B is Out of the fight.
3- A shoot twice at Matt: 5 and 6, Miss and Matt can return fire.
4- Matt Return fire: 5 and 6, Hit on 1d6 and return fire. Damage: 3 +2 (no armor). A is Out of the fight.
5- Since A is out of the Fight, I suppose it can't return fire?
6- C shoots at Sarah, 4 and 5, pass 1d6, so hit. Roll a 3 +2 (no armor). Sarah is out of the fight.


Will to fight test:
1- 5 and 2 for the Gangers: pass 1d6 so two figures leave the battle board. Only C is able to leave.
2- 4 and 5 for me: Pass 2d6 and no more than 50% are Out of the fight or dead. So I stay.
3- Before leaving the fight, we take the Weapons of the dead and OOTF characters, a B-2 and A-3



Recovery:
Sarah rolls a 5 and a 6. So she does not recover and won't come back to the band.



Any mistakes you can spot?

Perfect with one clarification.



PB shoot at Sam (I suppose you can't shoot at a target a 3rd time unless every target was shot at 2 times?) No, only need to target everyone before targeting a second time. How many shots fired is not relevant, just if the Character was targeted. 
Example - 5 Gangers face 2 Mercenaries. 
1st ganger targets Merc A.
2nd ganger targets Merc B.
3rd, 4th, and 5th gangers target Merc A - they really don't like him.

Not directly related to this thread, but it escaped me that the turn sequence requires you to only roll Will to Fight after both sides activate and react. I thought you rolled as soon as the Inactive side becomes Active.

Was this changed in recent editions, or have I been doing double WTF Checks this whole time?  😳

[Ed the Two Hour Wargames Guy]

Good catch. Yes, the current rules have Will to Fight after each active side is done, if a side takes casualties.

Makes sense. I always thought the old rules were a little harsh, but the new way is a good improvement.
