I'll have to disagree. The game is designed to simulate squad level
combat within a certain tech framework which is does pretty well. The
fact that we are attempting to use a different tech framework and
expect the same level of robustness is the problem. You wouldn't ask
a banana to be a kiwi so lets not say it is a failing of the system.
It is a characteristic. It represents well what it was intended to,
and not so well things it was not.
