Ok, I'm slowly working on gear and this is not complete, but I wanted to check on a few things:
1) Is this an OK format or do you prefer something different?
2) Do you want Fatigues & Parka broken out any more than this?
3) Does the L85A1 weight includes sling and cleaning kit?
4) Between v1.0, v2.2, and Paul's site, is there an order of preference for weights? For example, v1.0/2.2 lists a 30-rd 5.56mm magazine at 0.5 kg, Paul has it at 0.55.
I'm still researching what
Gas Mask, NVGs (I found some stuff about L4A2 - maybe?), and
Body Armor (a good friend gave me a resource to help with some of these!) were in issue during the period, so if anyone has specifics on those, that would help me out.
Unless the Ref prefers something different, I typically I will use the 1.0/2.2 book weights for gear, unless other, lower weights are found. Since the rules for character strength and encumbrance were likely balanced by the designers with the gear weights, some of which are a bit off (Kevlar helmets for 0.5 kg, radios, NVGs, for example), I try to stick to the book weights for kit available in the base game. Of course some stuff you have to get from Paul's site or Internet resources. For example, Entrenching tools rarely appear in the TW2K rules, but they are staple for many in combat arms.
Thanks in advance!
