I played in Stuart's sunday morning game and it was a hoot (even  
though my side lost).

The basic idea is that you're playing a DS level game using SG.   
Instead of moving individual figs you're moving fireteams.  Each  
fireteam can take two wounds with a third wound killing it.  You  
activate a platoon at a time intead of a squad.  Each fireteam has  
two actions and can do different things.  In our game that normally  
meant the missle teams moved into position and let loose with a  
volley of rockets.

Platoons would activate, become suppressed, etc.  Individual  
fireteams would be damaged or would die.  Each platoon had something  
on the order of 9+ stands depending on type and equipment.

Just think SG2 but go up a level and you have the basic idea.
