Re: [GZG] QUESTION: are SAWs becoming less significant...?

Well I could accept gauss and plasma fireteams having the same FP if the

plasma team also gets some sort of reducing effects of cover or similar 
bonus.

I'm imagining the defending team behind a wall or earthen berm. In the 
case of the attackers having plasma weapons there will not soon be any 
cover to hide behind.
