Subject: FMA-WW2 Thoughts (list test if nothing else)

Okay.  I posted a message last week about using FMA with some 1/76 scale
World War II figures I bought. I don't remember seeing any major responses to
it but then again my work email server was in the process of being moved so
it's possible it got chewed in transit. Anyway, here's what I was planning on
doing.

Scale would be about 1"=6'

Most of the games I'd be considering would take place in small burnt out
hamlets.

My primary concern is coming up with good values for the standard weapons used
during the war. The M1 Garand and the German Mauser being the two standard
weapons used. I was thinking of using 10" range bands. The impact die for the
two rifles would be similar though the firepower die for the Garand would be
higher than for the Mauser (due to the amount of fire it could put out
compared to a bolt action rifle).

As a starting point I was going to use the following values:

M1 Garant:
Short: 10"/d8    Medium: 20"/d6    Long: 30"/d4    Impact: d6

Mauser:
Short: 10"/d6    Medium: 20"/d6    Long: 30"/d4    Impact: d6

Pistols:
Short: 4"/d6    Medium: 8"/d4    Long: 12"/d4    Impact: d4

MGs:
Short: 15"/d10    Medium: 30"/d8    Long: 45"/d6    Impact: d8

Each figure would get a d4 defense roll plus a d6/d8 for hard/soft
cover.
