WHOA !!!!!
hold on,
I am not trying to belittle our shooters! these guys have hearts of Iron, and refuse to be considered "handicapped" and i am constantly in awe of them. some even go so far as demand PE's when they cannot put a knee on the ground when shooting from low cover!
because we have a couple of these walking wounded, we design each shoot with them in mind, just stops us from being too "evil"
If you want an idea of how they see themselves, hows this!
Scenario calls for first x targets to be engaged and then for the shooter to go prone and re-engage,
image my shock when wheelchair shooter launches himself to the ground and completes scenario, then camly asks me to clear his gun, and then assist him back onto his chair!
I needed a drink after that, i can assure you! i can't even remember giving the time to the scorer!
I thought the guy was having a seizure!
and yes, we always come up with a work-around.
