    In a DSII battle with no limitations, this often devolves into a
contest
where the one with the most nukes, wins. With appropriate genre
limitations,
the "Bring 'n' Battle" becomes more interesting.
    May I suggest for limitations the following, which are often
unspoken
and usually assumed by some:
1    No Nukes.
2    No Chemical or Biological weapons.
3    Vehicle design matches vehicle model.
4    A mutually agreeable point value per side.
5    Any further limitations as mutually agreeable.
6    Any further extensions as mutually agreeable.

    Note that none of the above is logical, but produces fairer and more
interesting battles.

A further set of limitations that we've found that produce fairer
battles:
1    If a VTOL is in HIGH mode and intends to shoot a ground target,
     the target can shoot back if it's in range.
2    Off table self propelled artillery can shoot and scoot.

Other, not as important, limitations and extensions can be found at my
site.
