Re: [SG] Climate/Environment Aclamation (was RE: [OT] Canadians are C OLD....)

G'day Brian,

 >IAS fighting in hot desert.
 >IAS fighting in tropical rain forest.

While I'm touched you thought of my guys, I'd like to point out that it 
says "most IAS colonies are joint ventures in marginally habitable areas
of 
systems (hot or cold) claimed by another nation" - though the cold ones 
seem to be the ones I get offered the most ;)

 >I would think that non Power Armor

Sounds like a good idea, maybe even 2 less if they were suddenly dropped

into high altitude with no suits etc. If they were in full NBC suits I'd

allow them to have standard quality but reduce their movement abilities
by 
a grade (i.e. all act as encumbered etc).

 >Roll a d6 for to get percent of force that is
 >down due to environmental conditions?

Sound idea. You could also make wounds more lethal or harder to fix.

Cheers

Beth
