There's been no formal word from NAUBL officials about the inclusion of Battle Rifles into Urban Brawl just yet;  just like Sport and Sniper rifles, not every type of gun is involved in the game.

A Killing Glare also has something of a translation of Urban Brawlers to the old DMZ miniatures rules.  I'm considering taking a look at the DMZ rules and seeing how compatible they actually might be with SR4 ... or rather, how they might be modified.  Speed up combat even further, perhaps ... ?

I've always wanted to play my ronin in an Urban Brawl game, just to see if an incredibly fast and agile individual with a heavy pistol with chem rounds and a katana could get you a wipeout ...

An Urban Brawl miniatures game might be interesting. Although, from memory, you'd either need to really streamline the rules (either SR4 or DMZ), or reduce the length of the game, because Urban Brawl takes 4 to 6 hours "in-game"...

And of course the only thing I can think of is Games Workshop's Blood Bowl.  It could be possible, probably wouldn't be too hard to do.

Argh, i am still trying to get ahold of DMZ. It's annoying how long it takes to get this awesome out of print stuff!

Trust me, it's not that awesome.  Neat, but not awesome.

Excellent idea. That should be possible to work with.
Create a custome playing field with som houses and a circular goal field and the modifie the BB stats to acomondate bikes and firearms.

Haven't played Blood Bowl in ages but I thing I still have a team or two in a box somewhere.

The problem there is scale.  Blood Bowl is played in a much smaller area than Urban Brawl.

[The Wyrm Ouroboros]

Thinking about it, half the time is involved in scouting -- locating the opposition and heading off to nail the suckers.  This is what, 4x3 city blocks?  Not a small area to cross.  Me, I always wanted to adjust that 'insufficient offense' rule, and get a lot of building-internal fights going ...

I just realized, har-frinkin-har, Urban Brawl...Secret History. Urban Brawl is secret history? Ha!

This actually sounds fun for a session run!!!

o.O"

Also i noticed something about criminals being forced to do this kind of like in Gamers. Sounds like if my guys get into trouble maybe they can "opt out' and play this. Of course their names and stuff might get into the press but hey!

Also it could invovle some runs where dirty underhand tactic's are used in the game. Bought off Reps and the like. "Electrical malfuctions" at JUST the right moment to not see the opposing team that wants to win chuck a grenade or something.  Makes me want to see how a session would go.... though I might have to scale it down a bit if it requires 13 players but by golly it sounds kick ass. xD

Any other suggestions?
