Availibility Codes: specialty slugthrower ammo
« on: 02 June 2024, 08:04:38 »
I was looking through the old Lostech book at specialty slugthrower ammo. I was curious why there was such a dramatic change in availability ratings once we get to the modern ATOW book? For example, AP and Explosive slugthrower ammo during the Succession War era. It goes from being practically ubiquitous to rating E.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I suspect it was meant as a minor shift in ammo availability - specialty ammos are always supposed to be harder to find and make - that got a little more bumped up than anticipated. Then it wasn't noticed by reviewers.

If you think it feels excessive, feel free to use a lower value in your game.
