Re: Return of FMA...

> Actually, that's an interesting point. The whole "D4 unarmoured" guy
idea
works in SG2 because it's meant to be abstract. When you bring it down
to
FMA, especially for things like grenade blasts at short range, it may
not be
valid. You still need some sort of luck happening for penetration, but I
think D4 might be a bit much.

will
damage?

In my Simply Skirmish rules which is based on FMA, unarmoured figures
have
"1" for armour. The damage roll just has to roll higher than "1" to
inflict
damage and put the victim down.

July 1999?

I've written Simply Skirmish and I've just added a whole lot more to it
including Fantasy, Medieval, Modern and SF, Magic, Miracles, Psionics,
detailed melee rules, and so on. I've also playtested it at a local
exhibition for four days.

If people would like another copy, let me know and I'll put it up on my
site.
