I can't imagine trying to use SAS or Delta Force alone for any
operation, unless you are doing a 19th-century style "Butcher and
Bolt" punitive operation.  Which has its place in some settings--and a
few companies of powersuited infantry would probably be able to do so
on a low-tech world.  After all, how many stands of 'leg' infantry
would you feel was a fair matchup in DSII vs a short battalion of
powered armor?
