#216 – Body Block and Tackle

Read transcriptWe're continuing this new exploration of combat rules options with an episode dedicated to one that - we've been told - doesn't get used nearly as often as it should these days. So let's bring it back! This one is the rather brutal and insidious "Body Block & Tackle" move, found in at least two different places in the Ultimate Edition of Rifts. Drop us a line!
