I'm been toying with creating a set of guidelines for playing AWI style
battles using FMA mechanics and 15mm minis.

You would move stands of figures about in formation. Your formations would be
closed ranks if the bases are touching and in skirmish order if they are not.
Nothing new there really.

I'm toying with the concept of recording "battle damage" using the confidence
system alone. Simply because I don't want to start hanging kill rings on units
as the game is played. I'd rather let the chits do all the talking.

Instead of rolling damage on a shot the result of the roll (firepower vs.
range) would be used to determine a threat modifier for the target. The target
would make a confidence check with the results applying immediatly.

Thoughts, comments? Way off base?
