    TWILIGHT 2000 Twilight 2000 is a Role playing game set in a fictional future, one where World war 3 began in the late 1990's and eventually slipped into a nuclear exchange changing society as we know it. The players assume the roles of survivors trying to live through the aftermath of the war. Twilight 2000 was published in the mid 1980's by Game Designers Workshop who unfortunately closed their doors in the early 1990's. The copyright was purchased by Tantalus, Inc but there are no stated plans to revive the game. Despite the lack of any new material from a publisher the game continues to expand through the players on websites such as this. This is my contribution to the game, this site will be in a constant state of change, I plan to add material as I get it finished. This will include new equipment, optional rules, alternate game backgrounds and other material as it accumulates, currently I am working on source material for a World war 2 background, but I also have been completing some optional rules of my own as well as modern equipment.

    MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS MC NAB © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS McNAB Series Editor Martin Pegler © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 4 DEVELOPMENT 8 The ‘universal’ machine gun USE 27 Flexible firepower IMPACT 62 ‘Hitler’s buzzsaw’ CONCLUSION 74 GLOSSARY 77 BIBLIOGRAPHY & FURTHER READING 78 INDEX 80 © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com INTRODUCTION Although in war all enemy weapons are potential sources of fear, some seem to have a deeper grip on the imagination than others. The AK-47, for example, is actually no more lethal than most other small arms in its class, but popular notoriety and Hollywood representations tend to credit it with superior power and lethality. Similarly, the bayonet actually killed relatively few men in World War I, but the sheer thought of an enraged foe bearing down on you with more than 30cm of sharpened steel was the stuff of nightmares to both sides. In some cases, however, fear has been perfectly justified. During both world wars, for example, artillery caused between 59 and 80 per cent of all casualties (depending on your source), and hence took a justifiable top slot in surveys of most feared tools of violence. The subjects of this book – the MG 34 and MG 42, plus derivatives – are interesting case studies within the scale of soldiers’ fears. Regarding the latter weapon, a US wartime information movie once declared that the gun’s ‘bark was worse than its bite’, no doubt a well-intentioned comment intended to reduce mounting concern among US troops about the firepower of this astonishing gun.

  • Weapons & Armour
    WEAPONS & ARMOUR MELEE WEAPONS In night-time raids on enemy trenches, surprise is often paramount and knives and clubs are effective methods of dealing with sentries before the bombing and destruction begins. Once in the trench the rife becomes a liability, even more so with the long bayonet fitted. Using a rifle or its attached bayonet within the confines of most trenches incurs a DM -2, as does the improvised weapon listed below, the steel 5’ picket. Hand weapons, many improvised in the trenches or in the rear, fill the gap – giving the raiders the tools they need to fight at very close quarters.

  • Karotechia Security Personnel Except for Undercover Missions in Foreign Lands, Most Karotechia Operations Require a Security
    Karotechia Security Personnel Except for undercover missions in foreign lands, most Karotechia operations require a security element to protect the secrecy of their work as well as maintain control over any work crews and “test subject” groups. The most common source for these personnel are the SS-Feldgendarmerie (military police) units attached to Waffen-SS divisions, although detachments are also created from the SS-Wachsturmbanne units that guard the concentration camps (-10 combat skills).

Dans le monde du jeu vidéo français, cette communication a été accompa- gnée en 2014 par la sortie du jeu Soldats Inconnus : Mémoires de la Grande Guerre1, généralement mis en avant pour sa dimension éducative. À l’échelle internationale, c’est toutefois Battlefield 1 qui a retenu l’attention en 20162, par son appartenance à la célèbre série des Battlefield, son gameplay immersif et multijoueur, et la polémique créée par l’absence des armées française et russe dans le jeu originel. Son mode multijoueur au gameplay volontaire- ment déconnecté de la réalité de la Première Guerre mondiale lui a égale- ment valu de fréquentes comparaisons avec Verdun3, sorti l’année précédente et plus réaliste quoique moins pratiqué.
