Wi AMPED FNVELOME AND SENT1-1 INTRODUCTION BIO ONE was created in 1974 to incorporate o degree of realism into a field of war- goming which was sorely lacking. BIO ONE provides @ complete end accurate system of damage location and effects for any gunpowder period of warfare. BIO ONE will prove an interesting addition to any set of men-to-mon rules which uses gun fire. BIO ONE may at first cppear confusing, but by simply following the step-by-step proceedure and trying a few sample applications, the system will be mastered in no time at all. 2-1 MATERIALS. Any set of man-to-man rules for a gunpowder period (i.e., TSR's BOOT HILL, etc.) . -One six-sided die -As many decimal dice os cre available (BLO ONE can be used with only one, but seven or more is easiest) . ~Paper and pencil -BIO ONE, which you now hold in front of you 3-1 PROCEDURE BIO ONE can best be thought of as ¢ flow-chart, each event follows a definite sequence, starting with a bullet being fired and ending with a wound of a certain degree of seriousness. This is determined by a combination of probability and chance. 3-2 DETERMINATION OF GENERAL AREA OF DAMAGE Assuming that a bullet hits the body (determined by using the rules of the period of your choice), adie roll is made on Table A, using two decimal dice to derive a score from 01-100. This score is cross-indexed with the proper row for the torget position with respect to the firing person. This cross~indexing will show which generc| area (leg, arm, heod, etc.) the bullet hit. EXAMPLE: IF the target was lying down, facing 90 degrees away from the crigin of the shot and the shot originated from a higher elevation, the Lying, Side, Upper row would be consulted and a die score of, say, 83 would ploce the wound in a leg, A roll of a six-sided die would be made to determine if the right leg or left leg were hit; 1,2,3 = right leg and 4,5, 6 = left leg. 3-3 DETERMINATION! OF EXACT LOCATION AND DAMAGE After the determination of which general area wos hit, the wound Is further pinpointed by the use of charts 1 through 6. Each chart is explained below. CHART #1. ABDOMINAL WOUNDS. This chart is a matrix of the torso which shows the specific areas of organ arrangement and determines exactly where the bullet hit the torso, To use this chart roll one decimal die for the x axis and one die for the y axis. The y axis number is used on either the front or side track, ond the x axis number is used either on the upper er lower track; this is determined by the result on Table A. These two numbers are then cross~ indexed to determine the exact abdominal region which was hit (in BIO ONE, the abdomen refers to the entire area of the body except for the head, arms, and legs). After it is determined which area is hit, go to chart 42 to determine if any organs are hit.CHART #2. ABDOMINAL WOUNDS. This chart deals with wht the bullet hit afer it entered the body. First, find the corresponding number of the area hit (crea 1, area 2, etc.) on Chart 41, Then roll two decimal dice and obtain o score from 01-100. This score determines what organs were hit, or the number of argans which were hit, or thet no organs were hit (nothing). IF it is determined that the bullet hit only one organ or none at all, go on to Chart #3. If the result is more than one", o further die roll 1s necessary to determine which organs were « This is done by rolling either two or three decimal dice on the second part of the chart for each respective area. The resulting numbers refer to the organs listed in the First part of the chart for the same orea. EXAMPLES: In crea one, o toll of 23 would indicate that the trachea was hit, In which case you would go on to Chart #3.1f, again in area one, a roll of 86 was scored, it would indicate that more than one organ was hit and another roll of three dice should be made, Suppose the second die roll scores a 944. This would then indicate that organs 1,3 ond 5 were hit; #1 being the esophagus, #3 the spine and #5 the rib. Then proceed to Chart #3 for each of the organs hit. Note that Chart 2-2 is a continuation of Chort 2-1. CHART #3. ABDOMINAL WOUNDS: DAMAGE TO ORGANS. After deter~ determination of which organs were hit using Chart #2, Chort #3 is used to find the extent of the damage. The organs are listed alphabetically, The numbers to the right of the organ name indicate how many decimal dice should be rolled to determine the number of Damage Points received. EXAMPLE: On a diaphrcgm hit 7 dice would be rolled, and on a cardiac hit 7 dice would be rolled twice. After the Damage Points are calculated, determine whether the wound is to be considered light ar incapacitating. It is considered incapacitating if it equals or exceeds the number shown on the second line. Then the Bleeding Factor (bf for short) is determined. Cross-index the Damage Points on the small chart under each organ, The result is a number from 1 to %, with 1 being the least severe. Then refer to Chart 7~1 for blood loss, 7-2 if the victim tries to stop the bleeding, 7-3 for the effect of sustained blood loss, 8 for the possibility of unconsiousness and 9 to determine whether the victim dies due to his wounds. Each chart ts covered individually latter on in these rules. EXAMPLE: Intestinal hit: die rolls of 5,3,7,8,0,4 and 9,9,6,3,2,6~ total of 62. It is over 15, so it is incapacitating and has a bf of 8. CHART #4, HEAD WOUNDS. After first determining the direction from which the bullet hit the head roll for percent in the proper column (the first twa digits being the percent) which will show what part of the head was hit. The next number shows how mony dice must be rolled twice to determine the damage points received. The last number shows the base for the bleeding factor, the bf may val, according to the cmount of damage points received, as shown on the chart just kelow the main chart. To determine the results of the Damage Points and bleeding see Charts 7,8, and 9. CHARTS #5 and #6. HAND, ARM and LEG WOUNDS, The procedure for each of these is clmost identical, ond involves the following steps: 1) Roll for percent to determine whet part of the hand or limb is hit. EXAMPLE: On an arm hit, a roll of 44 would place the wound in the upper2) The line under each crea name indicates how many dice should be rolled to determineDamage Points. 3) The lines after that indicate the bleeding factors due to the different damage situations. 4) At the kottom of each general orea is the number determ| incopacitating or light. ing if @ wound is 3-4 BLEEDING CHART #7-1, RATE OF LOSS. After the bf is determined, the initial loss of blood is checked by rolling the number of dice shown under the bf on the chart. Each tum thereafter, the number of dice shown under the some bf, but under the "sustained" row are rolled and added to the previous tum's blood loss total. This continues until the bleeding is stopped or the victim dies (see Charts 7-2 and 7-3). CHART #7-2, STOPPING BLEEDING. When person receives a wound, he may want to fry to stop the bleeding. Each time that a seperate person trys to stop a wound from bleeding, roll once on Chart 7-2. More than one person may try per turn. Each person may do nothing else during @ tum in which he tries fo slop. © wound from bleeding. CHART 47-3, EFFECTS OF SUSTAINED BLOOD LOSS, After a person looses 100 units of blood, he must roll the appropriate number of dice according to the mount of blood he has lost, as shown on Chart 7-3. The result is the number of damage points the person sustains due to the loss of blood. These rolls must be made during each turn that the person continues to lose blood. 3-5 UNCONSIOUSNESS CHART #8. To receive a large number of Damage Points in one turn might cause Unconsiousness. Chart #8 deals only with Damage Points received during the current turn. Each turn that a person receives Damage Points, check on Chart 8 for loss of consiousness 3-6 DEATH CHART #9. When a person receives o certain number of Damage Points, he stands a chence of dying from his wounds. This is shown on Chart 9. Damage Points count full value only on the turn in which they cre sustained. They only count 1/2 value on each turn thereafter. Therefore five wounds in succession are less likely to cause death then five sustained in one turn.ABDOMEN HEAD ARMS.
