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.
