I think as you say above listing WARPACT AR and NATO AR with those stats would be perfect !Rolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01782410661530430811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116709723757797084.post-49257720877966918722018-01-29T19:24:22.608-08:002018-01-29T19:24:22.608-08:00Hi Rolf - thanks for the comments and for looking ...Hi Rolf - thanks for the comments and for looking at the rules in detail. I like the idea but the implementation might prove difficult and beyond the BG "KISS" approach. Earlier versions of my variant were way more complicated with oval templates for DPICM strikes and all sorts of other things. I had to pair it back to be more in line with BG. I guess you could have WARPAC Assault Rifle with RoF 2 out to 20" and NATO Assault Rifles use the current rules. How does that sound?<br /><br />Glad you mate liked the game. He should write it up and post about it.<br /><br />RichardRichardChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715518001361703533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116709723757797084.post-15139339761920256452018-01-29T13:34:44.121-08:002018-01-29T13:34:44.121-08:00Looking at the small arms table IMHO I think the c...Looking at the small arms table IMHO I think the concept of assault rifle could have some depth . Looking at effective ranges the main assault rifles for this period - would be ; AK47 350 metres, AK74 400 metre , M16a1 460 metres, G3 rifle 500 metre , SLR/FN rifle 800 metres. Whilst your clear view would rarely be longer than I guess 100/200 metres in anyway . It might be worth differentiating between the shorter range ''hope and spray'' weapons in the AK family than the longer range slightly more accurate NATO weapons . We were talking about this at lunchtime with a BG devotee who had played a game last night with your rules . He was still more than chuffed with his British FV Striker that had taken out a T72 .
