Re: FMA Skirmish question

I would think that any soldier worth his salt would at the very least
drop
to the ground, which would give him minimal cover.  As far as the
confidence
test, and whether he stays or runs, I think you've got a good idea
there.
Keep us posted on the skirmish rules.  I love the concept.

God bless,

P.S. Does anyone know about a Dark Ages/Medieval adaptation of the FMA
ruleset?
