The Tumbleweed is a municipally owned duelling
complex with an uncertain destiny. Due to the rise of
"morally correct" politicians within the city council, the
arena's future looks bleak. Current plans stipulate that the
arena will be torn down and replaced by a multi-level
shopping mall by year's end. Local duelling enthusiasts are
attempting to declare the place as a historical landmark. A
bitter court fight is expected.
Arena Notes:
The outer walls are 10 feet high and 70 DP. In the center of
the arena is an elevated roof, which is 10 feet tall, 20 DP,
and is supported by four 30 DP support columns. If two
columns are destroyed, the platform will collapse forming a
5" by 6" debris field and doing 3d6 points of damage to top
armor. The arena gates slide left to right, take one phase
to open or close, and have 30 DP.
The six "silos" are 5 feet tall and 30 DP. They can be
targeted at a -4 penalty.

Arena Special Events:
World War Three: This event occurs during a team vs.
team or free-for-all duel. At the beginning of each second,
the GM rolls 1d6 to see if each silo is "on" or "off". If
"on", the silo will eject an impact-fused explosive grenade.
The grenade is inserted randomly (the referee closes his
eyes and tosses the counter onto the map) causing damage
wherever it hits. Another version has the silos manned by
teammates (Gunner skill of +1). Vehicular grenade launcher
rules are used. |
