A few people have put DSII WWII stuff on their websites, and you
can easily convert that over to SGII.
We ran a 20mm WWII game a while ago with German Gebirgsjaegers
versus Russians;
No armour, 1D8 move
Rifles FP1, 1D10 damage
SMGs FP2, 1D6 damage, CLOSE only
SAWs 1D8 support, 1D10 damage (a bren or BAR would be 1D6
support)
Panzerfaust 1D10 support, 1D12 (Heavy 1D12x2)
Panzershreck 1d10 damage (Heavy D10x2)
Most tanks (Pz IV, T34) would have level 2-3 armour
With the generics weapon list in the SGII rules, you can pretty
much guesstimate any conflict from the Boer War on up. We've done
Vietnam
in 20mm using SGII, but I would *love* to try some Desert Storm in 20mm.
Platoon 20 out of England/Ireland does a pretty extensive line of modern
(20th century) figs. Some of the WWII and Vietnam figs are *crap*, but
they have a wide selection.
What figs do you use for your WWII games?
Laterish!
