FMA: something missing

Should indirect fire be in the "core" rules? Not sure about a
mechanic yet as I haven't played the rules (I have _one_ FT
opponent and he's out of town).

Now, not that I am complaining, but the x2 modifier on armour needs to be
written up in the core rules OR the reference to it dropped. There's nothing I
hate worse than dangling references in a set of rules.

As I explained when I originally posted the draft FMA stuff last week, what
went to the list was very hastily cobbled together from bits of about four or
five different draft versions that were written over the last couple of
years - I did warn everyone that there WOULD be bits that didn't mesh at
this stage. For the moment, please take the draft with this in mind and be
prepared to fudge through things like this. A more revised and cohesive
version will hopefully emerge from the tests and discussions in the course of
time, and everything should be tied up neatly long before we get anywhere near
a publishable version. See my other post in answer to Jim's question for what
I think should be in the core rules and what comes in the next level of
detail.

OK, I can handle that. I'm going to see if I can possibly drum up a game this
weekend (will be difficult.) I would like to give
you a report from someone not familiar with the non-FT rules.  I
get the feeling there are things that I will have problems with that those who
know the other rules won't notice.
