RE: [GZG]Howtohandleunitsarmedwith"heavy"weapons [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

["Robertson, Brendan" <Brendan.Robertson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Short Answer: very small units.

Long Answer: Due to the way point fire weapons work in SG, each unit
could, at most, fire two point fire weapons at a vehicle.  (I run
missile teams of two GMS/L + loaders for this reason).
As a house rule for the setting, you could allow squads to fire as small
arms fire, but let the weapons retain their Point Fire ability.  This
would give you Suppression/Minor Hit capabilities, but would preclude
scoring a Major Hit unless you have one of the troops take careful aim
and fire using the normal point-fire rules.

	Doing an SG2 game in a heavily themed environment, similar in
nature to the SF3D/MaK setting where armored units are the norm and even
your average infantryman carries a weapon that will give him some level
of firepower against a power suit or some such.

	I am curious how people are handling settings like this where
even common troopers carry "heavy" weapons?  I know it has been asked
before, so even a link to data on this would be useful.

	Thanks,

	-Eli
