<snip> doing the math...

1 squad/BMP commander w/ assault rifle (AK-47, AKM, AK-74) and pistol

Glenn: FP:3 Total of 3

1 grenadier with an RPG (equals reloadable IAVR) and pistol

Glenn: IAVR is Support weapon D10, D12*  Could this count as a GMS/P?

1 assistant grenadier w/ an AK and extra rockets for the RPG, the
grenadier and assistant carry approx 8-10 rockets between them.

Glenn: AK - FP:3  Total 6

4 riflemen w/ AK's (FP:3, Impact D8)

Glenn: 4 x FP:3 is 12 Total 18

1x 2-man light machine gun team w/ PK machine gun (FP:D8, Impact D10)

Glenn: This would count as a Conventional MG (SAW) of D8, D10 or a Size 1
Heavy Weapon? I assume the former given your stats. And this would become a
second (After the IAVR) support weapon (this was much discussed
on the gzg-l list as I recall - well, maybe not "much"...)?  Okay, so
far. Two Support weapons are covered by many house rules.

(recently, this has been replaced with two RPK-74 automatic
rifles/squad automatic weapons (FP:4, Impact D8))  (yes FP:4, its not
a typo)

Glenn: Minus the SAW and add two (I think, one per old LMG crew member)
FP:4 weapons totals (18 + 4 + 4 = 26 - over a double D12! - and a
support weapon [IAVR.])

Seems a bit out of whack with the futuristic LTAR of FP:2 D8 and, I think,
more than a equal sized squad of AAR armed troops (FP:2, Impact D10). And the
Gauss Rifle with FP:2, D12 impact. Current Russian Squads out firepower future
ESU Squads?

But it's late and maybe I made a math error.

I'll look again when I get up (0430 hours - 6 hours, sigh.  Then again
maybe I will try adding it upo again tomorrow after work.)

6 mm miniatures rule!
