Oerjan:

Well, I guess that I am also implicitly assuming that all of the
special weapon ammo is distributed throughout the vehicle, troops,
etc. Sure, it takes up extra space but the extra amount, once spread
between the troops in a squad, is insignificant. Remember, specialist
elements don't carry rifles and their squad mates will usually be
more than happy to carry a little extra weight in exchange for the
added firepower.

IIRC, you don't have to use extra capacity for specialist elements
in SG2, so why would you in DS2? My personal preference would be
to have the same vehicle with the same troop distribution in both
games. I just don't see either game as being fine grained enough
to make a difference. YMMV.

Tony.
