Black powder weapons are temperamental and prone to malfunctioning – often in spectacular fashion. Whenever a black powder weapon misfires (be it a cannon, organ gun, mortar, fire thrower, or something more exotic), roll on the table below and apply the result immediately:
D6 | Result |
1 | Destroyed: The weapon explodes with a thunderous noise, leaving a hole in the ground and a cloud of black smoke hanging in the air. The model is destroyed and immediately removed from play. |
2-4 | Malfunction: One of the crew has become caught in the firing mechanism. This problem can be fixed, but only by partially dismantling the weapon, the crew member, or both. The crew immediately loses one Wound, the model fails to shoot this turn and cannot shoot before the end of the next round. |
5-6 | Pffft: The fuse has gone out. As far as mishaps go, it is not very serious, but one of the crew will be feeling rather foolish! The model fails to shoot this turn. |
