http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lHow do you handle
militaries like Hammer's Slammers or some of the units
from the Traveller universe? Sorry, not too experienced at designing
unconventional forces and need all the help I can get.

The infantry force would be eaten for lunch by other infantry. There
is a reason that most infantry forces have a mix of different weapons.
Using SGII rules, without houseruling things extensively, your best
bet would be to organize in small teams, 2-3 men each, each built
around a single heavy weapon with one or two ammo bearers/riflemen.
And then the first time that force runs into some light infantry, they
will start reconsidering having regular rifle squads in the force mix.
