     Okay, so what does this have to do with the mailing list, you might

ask? Well, it's got me interested in an idea for doing a Stargrunt 2 
scenario based on the _Guns of the South_ (by Turtledove, who has a 
sequel coming out this fall). Has anyone come up with SG2 stats for 
muskets? I was thinking of doing a small (well, small for the 
Confederates) scenario using some HO scale North Vietnamese miniatures 
for the confederates (some of the figures have slouch hats and AK's) and

some HO scale Union soldiers. I was wondering what if anyone has come up

with SG2 stats for anachronistic weapons.

Allan,

	I was doing some conversion for fantasy/tech scenarios a little 
while ago. Police actions on low tech worlds etc. I haven't played them 
yet, but you may want to try using a fire power of 1 for muskets and 
limit thier maximum range to 3 range bands (2?). Gets tough to hit 
targets under cover though. Possibly two actions to load and fire. Let
me 
know if and how ot works out.
