    But the officers are spending an awful lot of time coordinating that
PA move, so
it's not all that difficult to argue that it should be allowed.  We were
talking
about this around here over the past day or so.  Last night, we made the
house rule
that you a leader could only transfer two activation during his
activation if they
went to two different units.  This eliminates most cases of abuse.  Now,
we're still
wrestling with the problem of having independent leader figures
transferring actions
outside of the chain of command.  I'm just not sure what the best way to
handle this
would be.
