I want to play Crewed weapons in my SGII games. Does anybody know were I could
get some in 25mm to go with my GZG figs? Also any rule for them on the net?

Thanks Joe.

Well it just so happens..... GZG do the following....

OU GMS/L team of 3 (looks a lot like the RBS-70 SAM)
NSL Light RAM (Mortar) ESU Auto GL ESU RFAC

NSL Jaeger also have a two man standing MG team (ala WWII MG42 over the
shoulder style)....

that's off the top of the head.

Different suggestions have floated around about how to handle wepaons teams.
The general consensus is that most heavy weapons can still fire with only one
member (although there should be a reduction firing eg once every SECOND
activation perhaps) but can't move the weapon. With two men movement is
reduced to half; but firing isn't reduced etc.........

I've seen games where the Weapons Teams were able fire their Heavy Weapon in
one activation and then used small arms against a separate
target......mind
you it was Kra'Vak so that may be excuseable. Generally I would suggest that
the Weapons Team can EITHER fire their Heavy Weapon OR personal weapons.

Try it and see if it fits your style.

Cheers,

Owen

as far as I am aware, there is a mortar unit for the NAC. I remember seeing
them at Eureka miniatures.

Wow that's timing.  When will these be available?   Will there be
anything for the NAC?
