RE: Close Assault and Scenario (Stargrunt)

Fair comment by Stuart. I tend to treat it as the same as smoke. There
tends to be no specified limit as to haow many times a squad can produce
a smoke screen, but it would be reasonable to assume that each soldier
would only carry one or two smoke grenades. "So who's got smoke left?"
is not a question we deal with in a game. 

The philosophy of the game is moving, firing and reacting at SQUAD
level. The idea of doling out the IAVR is probably more suitable to a
skirmish game. But hey, we all have our prferences in the rules. My
favourite part in the rules is the bit about "HAVE FUN". That's why I
play it!

By the way, if you can get them the Oceanic Union figures will have some
carrying IAVR; they look very similar to the M72 LAW or the Sov RPG18.

	I use two alternatives.  A low tech approach is to make a
'representative'
	IVAR.  I have used a bit of rolled up putty, it doesn't look
good but you
	can tell instantly who has the IVAR.  Alternatively, nominate
the squad as
	carrying the IVAR, it may be reasonable to assume that if a
trooper
	carrying the ivar gets shot someone else will pick it up, this
way you only
	need to keep track of squad expenditure rather than figure (I
prefer this
	way myself).
