Classic: WWII - 4e update

GURPS WWII is a Classic book. Thankfully most of the changes in character templates from Classic to 4e are minimal in this book. 
==Starting Points==
Due to the increase in the cost of IQ and DX the suggested starting point totals need to be adjusted.
*Ordinary enlisted men and NCOs [75]
*Ordinary officers and top noncoms [100]
*Crack troopers or high officers [150]
*Elite and cinematic heroes [175]
==National Advantages==
Since IQ+1 and DX+1 are more expensive the US and German advantages have less flexibility at the suggested [25] and may need to be raised to [45]. Since Per and Will are derived from IQ they will also increase for US soldiers.
==National Disadvantages==
*Semi-Literate is now Language (Native/broken) [-2]
*All can be resisted mental disadvantages are (12) for the same point cost.
==Military rank and skill==

== Templates==
With the exception of 1/2 point skills most of the skills in the 1-4 paint range remain the same level though a few changed names. Raise all 1/2 point skills to 1 point; this raises the skill itself to the next level. For example, First-Aid (IQ/E) IQ [1/2]—10 becomes First-Aid (IQ/E) IQ [1]—11. The templates gave either [3] or [4] for optional skills. Since 1/2 point skills don't exist the GM may want to double the points for optional skills.
