High Tech: Grenade, impact fuse WW1

Azinctus · 09-14-2009, 08:14 AM

I'm doing a one-off WWI game and I've found High Tech is a little short on grenades. In Storm of Steel Ernst Junger is quite explicit about using impact fuse stick grenades. The British also had impact fuses, at least early in the war.

I want to offer my PCs something a little more dynamic than the seven second fuse of the Number Five Mills bomb. Impact fuses would obviously be useful in GURPS second by second action.

Does anyone have the low down on WWI grenades? How would an impact fuse work? is there some part of High Tech I'm missing with more on this?
