Sounds pretty reasonable.

A little strict but not patently unfair to the spirit of the rules.

Yes, it does.  I might not worry since experienced (I have yet to
play!!??!) players suggest it may not be 'optimal' anyway.  But then I
wanted this force to match the culture I designed for it not necessarily
be the best 'winning' design strategy (not that I want a kludgy certain
to lose one but one with a few quirks and satisfy my 'style' button and
reasonable quality/quantity will do.)

So does anybody use DS2 with a different background then the 'canned'
one?  I like it but with I have an objective to merge it with my old
Starguard campaign world (Cotu) to make the battles more then
skirmishes/platoon (-) actions.

Gracias.

Triphibious Marines = Nektons.
Not all Frogs are French, or even Human!
Nektons, be all the Marine you can be!
