Appologies for the "one big reply" thing - I subscribe to the digest

work :-)

I'd have regarded an EW unit as "split off" in any case - they seem a
bit
specialised to be part of a combat squad. Additionally, it seems
unlikely
that the EW operator would have free ability to move, shoot and jam
enemy
comms at the same time.

I like the look of those - certainly seem worth giving a try.

Thanks, folks! Reassuring to know that my reading ability hadn't failed
me,
for a start, and some good looking suggestions for the rules.

Sure I'll speak to you again,
