I assume you meant to write "the Major General's and/or 'By Jingo!'",
which are the two really excellent colonial sites I know of. MajGen's
has
the coolest landships, and some great gyrocopters and stuff.

Just scale Sg2 'downward'. Muskets are FP1, muzzle-loading rifles FP1
and
higher impact, breechloading rifles are FP2 and higher Impact still.
Gatlings FP3, obscene impact. ("Whatever happens, we have got/the
Gatling
gun, and They do not/...)

All personnel armour will be either d4 or d6, I'd imagine. Vehicles move
up from there... as for ironclad/landship armour, damned if I know. Work
out your small artillery pieces, then figure armour from there,
depending
on how evil you want landships and/or artillery to be.

What's the armour die of a Martian thark? (Long live John Carter!)

Hope that helps, and let us know how the project goes!
