RE: [SG] conversion for WWs

G'day,

So far we have

Bolt-action rifle:
Brendan: FP:0.5, I:d8
Laserlight: FP:0.5, I:?
Adrian: FP:0.5, I:d8 or d10

Tommy guns: 
Brendan: FP:d4 or d6, I: d8
Laserlight: like an AAR
Adrian: like a submachinegun

So it looks like
Bolt-action: FP:0.5 and I:d8  (though one dumb question... if a hunting
rifle gets an FP1 in SG why only a 0.5 for a bolt-action are they worse
still or is this a factor to do with it being WWII vintage?)
Tommy gun: FP:3 and I:D6 and restricted to 2 range bands (i.e. not close
only, but not much better - by the way went for FP3 for now this may
change
if I can ever save up to get the machine gun figs)

Turning to Adrian's post:
> Owen (that was the WWII Aussie SMG, wasn't it?) - FP:2 IMP:d6

Umm could well be it rings a bell... I'll ask Derek when I get home.

Thanks for all those.

Like I said for now I'll use them as FP3, but this may drop back to FP2
fairly quickly depending on how things go.

Sounds like a challenge to me ;P

I was thinking of treating the "mad minute" as an SMG or SAW with FP:D6
and
IMP:D8 at least as a first cut.

Muchly thanks!

Nope everything's fine thanks... I still glaze over when people start
talking about ammo sizes, but that's my problem not yours ;)

Must be pretty noisy ;)

Will do. It probably won't happen for a fortnight or so though as I have
to
finish the paint jobs and Derek has a big NSL vs Imperial Guard match
coming
up (well by our standards...he had a decent chunk of our ping pong table
covered with troops and vehicles all lined up when I got home last
night, I
don't think either of us had realised how much he'd slowly scrabbled
together over the last few years!) so it will have to wait until after
that.

One last question. How do the grenades of WWII compare to grenades of
today
- I'm trying to avoid asking Derek so I can surprise him with my
cunning...
well surprise him at any rate ;)
 
Thanks
