[SG2] [WW2] Quad .50 half-track

Scott mentions the US halftrack as having a .50 and a .30. This is 
the standard APC halftrack. The Quad mount .50 I was referencing in 
my piece was the ADA version of the M3 halftrack (the exact vehicle 
code or name I don't have handy) whose rear fighting area was largely 
occupied by a large .50 quad mount on some sort of rotating mount. It 
was designed for ADA, but was very dangerous on the occassions it was 
employed against infantry as it had a ludicrious volume of fire. 

I like Allan's suggestion of treating infantry elements under fire 
from ADA (air def arty) as if subject to terror. This just makes good 
sense to me. 

OTOH, Allan's suggestion of rolling each barrel separately seems also 
reasonable, but a little on the time consuming side which is why I 
roll QD + n FP or n FC dice depending on manual sights or actual FC 
system. It's faster and probably produces a fair number of casualties 
with less rolling. 

RE: Nebelwerfers etc. Either treat a multi-tube launcher as a size up 
(small Nebelwerfers treated as a medium single strike) or treat them 
as multiple discreet strikes. Or perhaps roll deviation for the main 
strike (or the first barrel), then deviate each individual shot 
around that using d4 for distance and d12 for direction. 

Keep in mind both Nebelwerfers and ADA should be dangerous, but not 
the ultimate weapon to which no others compare.... there were an 
awful lot of infantry, tanks, aircraft, etc. so they should also be 
given their due and since SG2 intentionally palsies maximum infantry 
weapons ranges, vehicle weapons, vehicle operations (how many things 
can happen at once), etc., maybe keeping the artillery and ADA 
slightly toned down from reality is only fair. 

In the end, if it keeps you and your players happy, naught else 
matters a tinkers cuss!
