(or "Tesla, I’m coming to stomp you!")

Early combat tripods were woefully under-gunned compared to the various other vehicles lumbering over the 19th century battlefield, and what little firepower they had was insufficient for use against infantry. In their frustration, many an enterprising tripod commander lashed out at the enemy in the only way left to him — he walked all over them.

Procedure
Roll 1D6 for each enemy figure along the path of the tripod’s move. On a roll of 6, the figure is potentially stomped — it needs to make a saving throw equal to its field craft or less on 1D6 to avoid a nasty fate. If the save is made, the figure survives, but the unit still takes one hit for morale purposes.
