RE: Cheese factor

No. I'm suffering from small budget.
Since I am going to try to introduce SG2 locally, I purchased what I
thought
would be enough for 3 "nations". I decided to go 15mm (partly from cost,
partly because of the discussions on the list). I purchased 4 Standard
and 2
PA groups for 3 powers (NAC, NSL, KV).

I had a misconception of what a "platoon" consisted of.

Thanks to the members on the list, I will reorganize the forces into a
"Reinforced Platoon" (2 Levels of Command).

By the way, if you want to see a scan of the 15mm Kra'Vak, you can look
at
the following. Shown is front and back of each of the 15mm Kra'Vak
packs.
All	http://www.ftsr.org/images/sg2/sg15-k.jpg (239k)
SG15-K1 http://www.ftsr.org/images/sg2/sg15-k1.jpg (95k)   Line
SG15-K2 http://www.ftsr.org/images/sg2/sg15-k2.jpg (113k)  Cavalry
SG15-K3 http://www.ftsr.org/images/sg2/sg15-k3.jpg (85k)   Power Armor
The scans are "as arrived" (not painted, inked, or even cleaned of
flash).

I'm sorry, but a platoon of 8 figures striks me as rather silly. It gets
you the benefits of extra activations at a really low level.

Squads of 4 are small to my liking, but I know other people like using
them that way. Platoons of only 2 squads strike me as _really_ small,
especially with such small squads.

Are you suffering the same disease that affects most SF movies, command
structure inflatism? ;)

As an option, make squads of 8 figures, and use the alternate
detachmant rules to make the two fireteams?

Cheers,

  Derk
