Nothing to do with Skirmish, though
>Combat Team
>-- Visions of Harold Coyle or Tom Clancy...
Yep. I think of "combat team" as about a regiment, not a squad.
>Man Down
>-- Like it! (It describes what happens most of the time...)
How about "Take Cover"
>Weapons Free
>-- This (for me) conjures a more naval image... or air force...
agree
>CQB (Close Quarters Battle)
>-- Or Close Action? Or Close Contact? Close Contact would be good to
cover
the description of a skirmish game with a 1":2m groundscale....
>Close Assault (probably used)
>-- Possibly not... and it does describe a game mechanic
"Close Action" is good, or "Close Assault"
>Hostile Contact!
doesn't flow
>Target Destroyed
skirmish?
>Killing Ground (another Sun Tzu hommage)
ok
>Orbital Assault
skirmish?
I think "Stargrunt:Man to Man" and "Stargrunt:Platoon" might work,
despite TomB's disinclination.
