Rules for lack of sleep?
« on: 19 June 2021, 16:56:06 »
Does ATOW have rules for what happens after you've been running your locust all over the desert for twenty hours straight, after four hours sleep the night before?

I'd just hit them with fatigue modifiers or just difficulty modifiers,

Page 189 has the base rules for Fatigue.  I'd say running a Locust all over the desert for hours on end would probably inflict at least 1 point of Fatigue per hour.  You could also inflict a few points for less than six hours of sleep.  In my experience, 90 minutes is a sleep cycle, and I need at least three of those to be functional.  Four is better (six hours of sleep).  Some research says most people need 8 hours.
