Plus a clock face 12D.   Fragmentation Grenades: these cause damage from small bits flying off the explosion and damaging material that it hits.  In this rules system they cause 1D6 chance of hit to all in the blast radius on a score of 3 or higher. Fragmentation Missiles: Cause 2D6 chance of hit to all in the blast radius and the save modifier is increased by +1.   Concussion Grenades: these cause damage from intense explosive power.  In this rules system they cause 2D6 chance for a hit to all in the blast radius on a score of 3 or higher. Concussion Missile: Causes 3D6 chance to hit to all in the blast radius and the save modifier is increased by +1.   Smoke: these cause a cover modifier to the chance to hit dice. In these rules they will cause +2 to the die roll for a hit (like hard cover).  Smoke will drift with the wind. Smoke Missile is the same.   Gas: poisonous damage. These cause damage to unprotected breathing humanoids. Protected humanoids are unaffected.  In these rules they will cause damage on a to hit roll of three with a modified save roll of Heroic qualities only.  Figures in the blast area of gas roll 1D6 and are damaged on a roll of 3 or higher.

Gas Missile: will have a chance of injury on 2D6.  Saving modifiers will stay the same. Hallucinogenic gas does not cause death but puts the figure affected into the control of the opposing side on that player next turn. Reroll saves at the end of the controlled figures actions to see if he remains affected by the gas.   EMP: pulse grenade that causes energy weapons to have a +2 to hit modifier.  Does not drift. 12” dia. of effect.   Vortex Grenade: 6” dia.
