I have started one, but I really need to get more organised before I
have a realistic chance of finishing it...

This is true, however, I have always thought that it made little sense
to have troop space in 4 capacity point increments. Real vehicles
simply never behave this way. So I use the SG2 precedent of
1 cap/1 infantry
2 cap/1 PA trooper
I would be suprised if most people didn't use this house rule if they
have both SG2 and DS2. My program will allow you to use a flexible
set of rules.
