Commissars

Owen and I have been throwing a few ideas around for an NAC vs ESU Urban
assualt campaign we plan to commence shortly.  The ESU will be fielding
a
reinforced Compnay of regular Army troops.  We will be using a Pls of 3
Rifle squads (8 men, 1 SAW and a GMAS each) and a HQ Squad of 8 Men with
no
spt weapons.  To give this org an distinctly ESU Flavour we are
bantering
around the idea of Commissars...

The Pl HQ Squad is comprised of 2 four man teams.  1 Team is the Pl
Commander and 3 guys with SMG/Assault rifles.  The other 4 men comprise
a
Commissar and 3 "Helpers" to ensure the Political Correctness of the
Pl...

The Commissar (and his cronies) can detach from the HQ Squad and form
their
own squad when desired (act and characteristics of a normal foot squad).

The Commissar can give away actions only ONCE per Turn and only if
within
6" for direct communication (As Owen pointed out, if the Commissar tells
a
squad to assault a position by radio all he will get back is a
"Sorry..you
are breaking up"- but its different if he tells them at gun point).

The Commissar can help inspire nearby troops by spouting party lines and
a
few threatening gestures to assist nearby Squads (within 6") with their
CONF checks.  The Commissar rolls a d4, the result of which is added to
their roll.

Eg a Reg 2 squad comes under fire and the section commander gets taken
out.
 They need to roll better than 5 on a d8 to pass their CONF check- they
roll a 4.  However, a Commissar is with them and rolls a 2 on his d4. 
The
squad therfore have a total of 4+2=6 and so they pass.

If the Squad rolls a '1', they automatically fail the test (The
commissar
can only do so much...)

Any comments and suggestions are most welcome.
