Re: [TML] CT Striker Book 3 Hyper-velocty Gun HEAP rounds Thomas RUX 18 Jul 2020 20:05 UTC
Afternoon from WA. Rupert, I am aware that TNE FF&S Mk 1 Mod 0 (January 1994) was published four years after MT Referee's Manual in 1987 which was published six years later than CT Striker Book 3 in 1981. However, I do want to see how TNE stacks up against CT Striker Book 3 and MT Referee's Manual.
