One small change to the above (already reflected in the PDF download) --- ATGM/TOW doesn't take a -1 to hit penalty at long range.

I'd drop Assault rifles to 18" range (more due to training at closer ranges)

sotek486 this is most welcome, printing and lamenting soonest.
Perfectly put together.
Cheers and many thanks.

Thanks you very much for doing this & sharing it with us.

I've seen another modern variant that includes a mod to the unit cohesion rule. It allows a square to be split so you can "drop off" an LMG to cover the squad as it moves or assaults. A handy rule that let's you use more realistic small unit tactics.

It's 'breachers', not 'breechers'. Unless they're breaching someone's breeches, which…wait, different game. Maybe. :)

That aside…I'm more interested in this for scifi, than Gates of Antares!

First, thanks all!!

LOL!! Breechers!! Fixed and reposted here: link

@Sabre6: Not sure I agree 100% … I think playability is better at 24" …

@David Manley: Good thinking … I struggled with doing something like that … wasn't sure if it would make things to "fiddly" … I was going to mess with it in some future games before adding anything around that … but hey, you can certainly do it in the mean time :-)

Infantry walks 50m in one turn but you only get one shot of a pistol? Something screwy with the time and distance scale.

@cmdr kevin: Good point … that was just pulled over straight from the regular BA rules … but really should be 2 shots … added to my list of updates :-) Thanks!
