I would not classify a RPG as a SG2 GMS of any size (since GMS is
Guided), and SG2 already has rules for firing Infantry Rockets (the
RPGs are reloadable Infantry Rockets) at dispersed targets.

I'd bet at lot of money that that incident was NOT at the ranges
represented on a SG2 game table (720m on a 6' table).
