1)  Well right now one thing that SG2 does not model is the effect troop 
quality has on whether a unit becomes pinned. As it stands, under the 
equivalent volume and effectiveness of fire, a veteran unit and a green 
unit would both be pinned. I've heard accounts of elite units (such as 
the SEAL team portrayed in "Lone Survivor") who receive huge volumes of 
fire from green troops and continue to return fire. You can't model this 
behavior in StarGrunt.

2) Something needs to be done to the vehicle rules. I find them 
difficult to run, and when I do get them right the end result is not 
satisfying. Either nothing happens, the vehicle is disabled, or it's 
destroyed. If it takes a while to determine the result, I want there to 
be some granularity at the end.

3) Hordes, gangs of civilians portrayed in a meaningful way. I don't 
think you could portray something like "Black Hawk Down" with SG2. If 
you have lots of troops that have not had basic training they use a D4. 
I find they're not at all effective or fun to play.
