SG2 Unit Coherency Question

Subject: SG2 Unit Coherency Question

In SG2, individuals in a unit must adhere to certain coherence rules, or
face
penalties.  As I recall (away from the book), coherency is 2" in
column/line,
or 6" (radius?	diameter?) in an irregular grouping.  
Now, the question:  Why?  Are these distances based on communications
(how far
the Sarge can yell, how far away you can read handsigns?), or maybe
morale
(don't want to be out of sight of your buddies)?  If so, couldn't these
be
different for other species (closer/farther)?  If this assumes
modern/post-
modern communications and doctrine, wouldn't lower-tech troops, or
troops from
a different era have more restrictive coherency rules?	AFAIK, the SG2
rules
assume that most troops have individual radios.  Would an action penalty
be in
order for troops that don't?
Just some ideas,

Noah V. Doyle
