WW2 weapons in Champions

[Capt. Walker]

Does anyone have a good site or book that gives HERO system stats for various weapons that would be common in WW2? I could go dig through my ww2 library and start converting them, but if something already exists it would make life much easier

 

 

EDIT: also....could someone with the Vehicle Catalog tell me if it includes things like the Tiger Tank, Sherman, P-51 Mustang, ME-109, etc...? Just want to get an idea as to wether if has what I need before I shell out the $$ for it.

 

 

Thanks!

Dave Mattingly had a online Hero magazine, Issue 2 had a Army article though it was 4th ed and much of it was modern day.

Leah Watts wrote an article on unusual ww2 weapons, the OSS toybox, Its free in the digital hero section. Highly reccomended

Danny St Pierre's home page, made for Pulp hero this site has many 30-40s era vehicles and weapons, also highly reccomended

Sorry , I just don't know about the Vehicle books. I believe there was a Zero in the initial book.

There's a good selection of WW II weapons and vehicles in the 4E sourcebook Golden Age Champions, although its emphasis is more on American weaponry. The HERO System Vehicle Sourcebook does have updated writeups for some of the military craft you're interested in.

 

From online sources, you'll find several German armored vehicles on this section of the excellent "Surbrook's Stuff" website. Note that Michael Surbrook mentions some concerns he has about the Damage Class of WW II armored vehicle weapons in the Vehicle Sourcebook.

 

As for guns: although not all of them were used into WW II, several of the pulp-era weapons detailed on Dany St Pierre's Hero Pulp website were still used into the War.

 

I'll see what else I can find.

Thanks for the website suggestions. It looks like there is some useful stuff on them. If nothing else it will give me a good starting point to convert other allied and axis equipment. Perhaps if I have some time once done I'll post them somewhere.
