The rules book notes that GMS/L and GMS/H have a range larger
than the Status: RO

scale of SGII.  What is the range band of a GMS/P?

If I could find it quickly I could quote it but the GMS/P have an
effective 'no on table' range as well. Given that range bands are not used in
any of the fire resolutions there would be no point anyway. Let's face it most
games are played on 6x4 or 8x4 tables and at ground scales of 1' to 10m a
missile system with a range of say 1500 m would be well out of any table
length for SGII.

I suppose that's another reason Jon has differentiated between IAVRs and
GMS/P as well.

In SG II it is unlimited. If I remember right there are no limits to ANY
missile fire in SG II, however when you consider the groundscale and an
average table of 6 foot correlating to only 720m real life, it is reasonable
not to limit the range.
