We play with this rule as a standard in our group too.	No unit may be
re-activated more than once per game turn.  Even with the rule, I've
still
seen some of the "NAC Olympic Tag Team Sprinting" happening - one game I
can remember had the person playing that squad (first time playing SG2,
of
course) rolling like three or four 11's and 12's in a row for combat
movement, and the squad ended up at the other end of the table in a
perfect
blocking position, and did the only real damage - and it was a recruit
(green) squad, too...  It's a good rule, though!!

What I was thinking about was more along these lines:  Somebody setting
up
a "company" with a company HQ, two platoon HQ's, each commanding two,
maybe
three infantry squads, and attached elements including maybe a tank,
squad
of power armour, and maybe a jeep or two - so everything can get
reactivated.  You have a reinforced platoon size force, but get all the
advantages of company level command.  I've seen this kind of thing once
or
twice - unless you have special scenarios developed that call for a
special
situation like this, what you really have is somebody playing a platoon
level engagement and cheesing out on the rules to take advantage of
reactivation.  Limiting them to one reactivation per unit per game turn
helps, but you can still reactivate nearly everything in the force...
