<snip> doing the math...
1 squad/BMP commander w/ assault rifle (AK-47, AKM, AK-74) and pistol
Glenn: FP:3 Total of 3
1 grenadier with an RPG (equals reloadable IAVR) and pistol
Glenn: IAVR is Support weapon D10, D12* Could this count as a GMS/P?
1 assistant grenadier w/ an AK and extra rockets for the RPG, the
grenadier and assistant carry approx 8-10 rockets between them.
Glenn: AK - FP:3 Total 6
4 riflemen w/ AK's (FP:3, Impact D8)
Glenn: 4 x FP:3 is 12 Total 18
1x 2-man light machine gun team w/ PK machine gun (FP:D8, Impact D10)
Glenn: This would count as a Conventional MG (SAW) of D8, D10 or a Size
1 Heavy Weapon? I assume the former given your stats. And this would
become a second (After the IAVR) support weapon (this was much discussed
on the gzg-l list as I recall - well, maybe not "much"...)? Okay, so
far. Two Support weapons are covered by many house rules.
(recently, this has been replaced with two RPK-74 automatic
rifles/squad automatic weapons (FP:4, Impact D8)) (yes FP:4, its not
a typo)
Glenn: Minus the SAW and add two (I think, one per old LMG crew member)
FP:4 weapons totals (18 + 4 + 4 = 26 - over a double D12! - and a
support
weapon [IAVR.] )
Seems a bit out of whack with the futuristic LTAR of FP:2 D8 and, I
think, more than a equal sized squad of AAR armed troops (FP:2, Impact
D10). And the Gauss Rifle with FP:2, D12 impact. Current Russian
Squads
out firepower future ESU Squads?
But it's late and maybe I made a math error.
I'll look again when I get up (0430 hours - 6 hours, sigh. Then again
maybe I will try adding it upo again tomorrow after work.)
6 mm miniatures rule!
Gracias,
Glenn
