I worked on a set, but they aren't in much of a condition to hand over
to anyone. I've been working on them for a couple of years. Last year
I started to use DS3 concepts to fix some of the SG2 issues. They
covered a raft of issues, including the difference between heavy
weapons designed for killing infantry versus "big shot" heavy weapons,
hull down aspect, six sided armour (top, bottom, front, rear, left,
right), more realistic missiles, etc., etc.

I haven't looked at them in at least 6 months, maybe a year. Part of
the reason is that until recently I didn't have anyone local
interested in miniatures, and they are more interested in historicals.
Part of the reason is that there's been so little discussion of SG2
that my interests have started to wane.

For RFACs, I gave them an impact of D12 x size class against infantry.
So an RFAC/1 did D12 impact, and an RFAC/2 did D12 x 2 impact. I left
the GAC as D8 impact, but that's in the first draft. The second draft
was going to address that.

APFC was one of the things I had to work out.
