Game Summary

The Bastards: Killin' Nazis and Takin' Their Stuff is a one-page roleplaying game based on the equally minimalistic SotU * Refired version 3 and its ancestor Searchers of the Unknown. Inspired by Kelly's Heroes.

Characters choose a "M.O.S." like rifleman, assault, support, or medic before each mission which determines gear and bonuses. Attacks are determined by rolling 1d20 level against AC. AC ranges from to 10 to 20, depending on whether the target is moving and has cover. Damage is determined by rolling a number of dice equal to the weapon's damage rating (1 to 6), summing like numbers, and taking the largest total. General actions are determined by rolling 1d20 level and trying to equal or beat 16. There are rules for various heavy weapons, Nazi soldiers, and armored fighting vehicles as well as a random mission generator.
