Subject: [SG] Infantry Support Weapons
OK, I was redoing my Free Ukrainians for submission to the Stargrunt.ca site, and I ran into some stuff that's not covered in the SG rules. I'm basing my MTOEs very closely off of old Soviet ones, but with some different twists. Anyway, there's a couple of things that I thought deserved discussion on the list. Encapsulated Flamethrower: vs infantry in enclosed area, FP d12, Imp d12. vs Infantry in open, FP d10, Imp d10. Imp d8 vs. PA. vs Point Targets, as IAVR, but Imp d8 if vs armored vehicle. Causes terror to non-PA infantry and fire effects as per p.57 Kind of a complex way to deal with this, but I havn't seen an easy one. It's a thermobaric weapon like the Russian RPO-A. Comments? Also has a higher chance of choking out CFE engines, but I'm not sure how to represent this. Basically a non-issue for an FGP Grav tank, but could be deadly to a CFE one. RPG: Treat as IAVR, but reloadable (usual ammo load is 3 shots) RPG-7 family, not the newer disposables. Comments?
