Thanks for that. Sorry for delay but I have only just got back from
the old summer holidays. As mentioned the information I sent was
raw, to the extent that I'd done the basic calculations in order to
take them away with me, but not done anything else with them.
The raw data came from test firing results conducted by the Germans
and Allies at the time. I can let you have them if that helps. What
I did have to do was also not necessarily take the best performing
shell, but the most available for that period of the war. Equally I
have also taken into account the extra skirting on a Panzer IV and
some other vehicles for armour effect.
One issue that needs to be kept in mind is that the calcs are based
upon penetration at 200 yards range. Unlike rule sets where we are
using one model vehicle to represent a troop of three, and three feet
equals a mile, in IABSM we are looking at much shorter ranges than
that. IABSM does not have a ground scale as such, however in all my
calcs I used 15mm equals 12 foot. This is simply doubling the real
15mm scale, presuming our 15mm soldier is six foot tall, which is a
distortion but I had to start somewhere and that mad maths easier.
Doubling it simply makes sense from a visual point of view.
Once I've unpacked my stuff I shall look up my figures and we can
look at specific cases, as it is it's too bloody hot for that at this
minute!

Hi Rich
Thanks for the Armour lists.The dice look do-able.
Where did you get the original data from? I haven't looked through
the eyeties
yet but some of the German and allied vehicle stats look rather
suspect.Eg
Nashorn mounted an 88/L70 Pak 43(as did the Jagdpanther) and should
have
a similar gun performance to a TigerII.
The Jagdpz.IVL48 had the same gun as a PzIV H but with heavier and
sloping
armour, and should therefore have comparable gun performance and
more armour
dice. Also all the figures I have show only marginal differences
between
the 75/L70 on the Panther and the 88/56 on the Tiger I(The panther
was a
little more effective at short range, whilst the tigers heavier
shot carried
its killing power out further)
I don't mean to be picky but these are the bits that piss me off
with rulesets.
And if we're trying to haverules which give a historically accurate
reproduction
then these things are important.
If you like I'll have a look all throgh and send you what I think
they should
be.
All the best

The raw data for the Italian armoured vehicles is now available.?
<BR>
Frankly my technological limitations mean that I am quite unable to
<BR>
post this in the Files section, but if anyone fancies doing that I
<BR>
will
send them the original list.? We could also do that with the <BR>
comprehensive lists for the Western Allies and Germans.? <BR>
