OK, let's get some opinions from the good people out there in
gzg-list-land....

This is completely hypothetical at this stage, but what would folks' 
reactions be to the following ideas, at some point in the future when 
I actually have time to write some new rules (ha!):

1) A squad to platoon level game with individual figures, more like 
FMAS than SGII, for 25/28mm figs, typical force size 1 to 3 squads 
per side, plus maybe a vehicle or two.

PLUS....

2) Another system (let's call it SG3 for the sake of argument), aimed 
at Company-level games with 15mm figs (useable with 25mm, but with 
15mm as the "recommended" scale), with group-based figures (3-4 to a 
stand) and platoon-level activation for both infantry and vehicles.

Discuss......  ;-)
