New Unit: PMC Protection Detail - Homebrew: Comments wanted

[rjandron]

Inspired by Hiromoon's unit cards, I used his Blank Mercenaries Card to create a special unit for smaller, scenario-based BFE games. The idea behind the unit is to represent the typical Executive Protection Detail in hostile nations. They would accompany ambassadors, judges, politicians, and other Vital Personnae and ensure their safety. They would typically be drawn from elite special operations veterans, and would possess powerful short-range weapons but not much in terms of long-range firepower. If they find themselves in a fight, their first and only responsibility is to protect their Principal, usually by getting him out of the Kill Zone as quickly as possible.

I'm not sure about the ratings for the PDWs or Shotguns, so I'd appreciate some comments back on those--as well as any general comments on the card and special rules themselves.

As far as the HK UMP PDW, are you referring to the MP7? If so it should have a -1 to armor saves. I don't think they (the EPD) should be immune to suppression if the VIP is still alive as they're first thought to receiving fire would be to get to cover and shield the VIP. Then again it sort of makes sense. Maybe they're first reaction every game should be a move to cover if not in a transport?

The mp7 in the future wave is 2d6, and i think range of 16"

In my own rules the P90 is a -1 to armour save with the mp7, thats for my stargate and ghost recon mod, BUT its my own Evo-s system, with shooting skills etc...

Im my memory serves, the UMP was a progressive development of the MP5 and MP2000 in either 10mm of .40S&W, as opposed to the entierly new MP7 PDW.

While the UMP is now offered in .40 cal and 9mm, it was originally and still is most popular in .45 acp cal. I own one, and they are very nice. This is a dual thread here and on EvoCommand.com here I saw it there first and left my suggestions there.

Your welcome, and great job on the card. I think you came up with the best suggestions of all and actually made it work. Not easy to do. :wink:

i think so, if its true then that squad will have
(this is purely me making a inference here )
2x MP7
2x Panzerfaust 3 and G36
2x G36
and then
MG36 OR MG3 OR G36 with a GL

that squad is going to be uber. :lol:

Very nice, but I recon it should cost about 300+ points.

More likely an MG4 than the MG36 or MG3, but the rest is probably fine...

well, from this thread, the unit leaders are getting the MP7 by the looks of it, apparently the squads are the same size (evo command question thingy) there getting RPGs (a few places) and the German Assault Rifle is the G36....
