Companion: Are there battle values listed for the vintage equipment?
« on: 24 January 2023, 14:36:13 »
I'm mostly interested in the vintage gatling gun.  I want a second go at doing up WW2 infantry units at some point.

Not to my knowledge, but this post should give you the rules to calculate it.

I'm not seeing the link between the Gatling gun and WWII units? ???

Lamenting not having more than Tech B mortars for support weapons.  Pure Tech B force.

Ah, if you're not willing to use TL C (where Browning comes in), then I don't think I can help you...  :-\

Just perplexing that Tech Rating B, late 20th Century tech, doesn't already have machine guns.

Early Age of War tech (circa Second Soviet Civil War) is already a horridly-underdeveloped niche in BT. It's no surprise to me, then, that the 20th century gets shafted even harder.
