I start running a campaign in about two weeks. For sub combat, I plan on digging out an old PC game of mine, Archimedian Dynasty, looking at the weapons and systems on them and developing a combat system from there. With dolphins and orcas as NPC's and characters, then ECM systems would also include sonics, as could some offensive weaponry. The equivalent of flare sould be sonar transponders designed to confuse echo location. Torpedos designed to mimic known subsermisble signatures is another interesting item. Underwater currents also make an interesting feature, allowing infiltration by powering down and drifting into areas, using known currents as a way of gaining advantage in combat etc. --- Troy Gustavel wrote: > > --- Adam Lewis wrote: > > I'm sure there are a lot of misconceptions about > > underwater combat.

But seriously, it _is_ a government job. I haven't run into any games where a player actually gets a salary. It is probably low if you plan on using those figures.
