Scouts and EW guys

John,

I agree an EW guy per section is useful. Note 
that EW doesn't appear all that frequently 
(attached at platoon level usually) in the SG2 
universe (or seems to be). 

So, why? Probably because there are 
(undescribed) reasons. I'd suggest since we 
can make PA, portable plasma guns, etc, that 
we can make portable HARMs, perhaps as 
ammo for HAMRs, other sniper weapons, or 
perhaps as GMS/P rounds. Or as bomblet from 
artillery. This kind of think might deter your 
heavy emission strategy. 

I mean, ideally, I'd like every line squad to have 
2xSAW plus a sniper, but people don't seem to 
do that. There are obviously reasons. 

One good one, outside of a PSB, is that too 
much FP or too much EW on a board distorts 
the feel of the game. 

(This said from a guy who had one game in 
which 24 or 27 GMS/P rounds fired were 
blunted by ECM or EW). 

Tomb.
