Before everyone gets too far along this road, can I just jump in and 
say that the infantry small-arms fire mechanism for the 15mm game 
(SG3/whatever)  will very likely be considerably different from the 
SG2 system! By all means keep talking about this, all the input and 
ideas are useful, but don't expect this to be the way it finally 
works.
