Re: SG2 Platoon leader casualties

Tom,

Yeah, something pretty similar happened to me a while back in my first 
dabbles with SGII. I took the opposite reading of the rules.

It states that if  "Unit" looses it's commander then it gains an extra 
supression and must take confidence test.

So I suppressed the entire platoon and they all took a morale check
(this 
resulted in pandemonium with nearly the complete force failing).

Feeling that this was a) a bit harsh and b) unrealsitic I collared John 
Tuffley at a wargames show and asked him. His response was something
along 
the lines of "Oh, that... yes we didn't write any rules for that... it
would 
depend on the scenario".

Basicly if you have an unpire, he (or she) can make it all up on the
spot to 
seem fair. Without an umpire it all becomes a bit trickier.

I would certainly only allow the comander and Sgt to trasnfer actions
etc. 
Beyond that, it's all a bit difficult to say.

Any thoughts anyone else?

P.s. my appologies for the cross-posting, but as ever, 2 lists are
better 
than one
