Do stand alone 2-person LMG teams fire as follows:
0-18 inches = Close Range
18 inches or more = Effective
Thanks

No, LMG teams fire as infantry, not MMGs.

Re: Range bands for LMG teams
Hi Jim... nice to "see" you again.
Thanks for clarification.
I think that makes sense for magazine-fed LMG like Brens, BARs, Italian-side-fed, etc but...
I think I will go with a house rule of 0-18 and 18+ for MG34s with 50-round canister or 50-round belts but reduce rolls of 6 to 5.
Thanks!

Hi yourself!
Still enjoying IABSM?
I wouldn't worry too much about independent LMG teams, in my experience they are a very rare beast, but giving them different range bands to section LMGs then opens the door to questions about *why* the same weapon with a smaller support team (the section carries extra ammunition) has a longer effective range...

Jim

Ah good point, Jim. Didn't think of that inconsistency
