[GZG] FMA skirmish [Long]

> Everyone might like. Can you put the file up on a webpage

This is a variant of the 2004 set, mixing in some ideas from DS3 and so forth,
and may not have the slightest resemblance to what eventually gets published.
Not explicit in the
"Actions" chart is that I made "snapshot" a zero-phase
action, so you can engage ina firefight whether you've taken your action or
not.

Activation Leader: Assign Orders •Must be within QD inches to give orders
•Specific: Roll QD for Command Points. To give an order to an individual, pay
CP equal to his Nerve. •Group: Your entire group must obey one order (move,
shoot in one direction, melee, etc.)

Figure: Activate •Automatic if not stressed or wounded
•Roll QD to exceed Nerve + Stress.  Each Shaken and Wound
chit counts as a Stress. •If FAILED, break and rout away from enemy—for one
Activation if not already Shaken, otherwise until rallied. Stress chits only
last till next activation test (pass or fail). Shaken chits are removed by a
successful Rally.

Fiat Gamemaster’s whim supersedes all other rules, die rolls, and laws of
physics.
