Heres the details for a play be post game I'm running.
Characters are street level heroes with 25 points. They have been gathered by the UK government as special strike force to help turn the tide of the war,a and form a counter to the * super soldiers.
Duty to Crown and Country , Normal are some appropriate Disadvantages.
Brawn,Agility,Mind max is x5
No more than x8 on Defense and Soak
No more than x10 on Damaging attacks.
Characters will be expected to perform combat,spying and commando missions, so try and make rounded characters.
I'm looking for mostly British(English,Irish,Scottish,Welsh) characters, but Americans,Polish,French and other allied nations could be represented. Perhaps even a German who has turned against Hitler.
I've run 2 issues about to conclude the 3rd.
The 1st issue had the team flying into France on the May the 12th - the day the *'s Blitzkrieged and took Sedan.
They fought off a few * war planes and met with French command.
2nd Issue Had the team try an slow Hitlers Panzers long enough for Tesla to get his electric fence working (His base was 5km north West of Sedan). Just when it looked like they would succeed the * sent in their own Super Soldiers, it was touch and go, but they had evacuate Tesla, the base blew due to sabotage. The * heroes where defeated though
3rd Issue has them defending a convoy of trucks , they lost half of the trucks to fighter attacks, and are now beating off a forward group of Tanks. Once thats done it will off to Sedan and try and get Tesla out of the country with his research.
Heres some equipment ive slapped together for the period, plus a few new rules.
Semi Automatic weapons
Can fire multiple bullets (up to 3) increase damage and chance to hit.
1 Ammo to hit and damage normal
2 Ammo +1 Dice Add to hit
3 Ammo +1 Dice Add to hit and damage
Fully Automatic
Spend 5 Ammoto go Full Auto.
Because you aren’t really aiming, the targets get a +1 Multiplier bonus to their defense rolls, but you increase the Burst area of attack by one category.
So Thus a weapon that normally does not cover a Burst now covers a Small Burst, a weapon covering a Small Burst now covers a Medium Burst, etc.
Jams
If a double 1,1 is rolled on the attack the gun has jammed, it will take 1 panel to clear the jam.
Inaccurate
If fired in full auto mode the gun has -2 dice add to hit.
Suppressed
Requires a Difficulty 30 Hearing check to detect location, Difficulty 20 to Hear

These blades are designed for cutting and hold a good edge, they get a +1 dice add to Damage.

Glaring omission
I've been using the Bren for pretty much all Light machine guns , A Vickers for heavy and medium - a B.A.R and a MG42 would probably have pretty similar stats to a Vickers, at least in game terms.
