SG:
When playing SG, my point of view changes from move to move. When I move
a squad, I ask myself what the leader of that squad would do, and when I
move a platoon or company commander, I ask myself what that commander
would do. When I move a green squad, I sometimes do something foolish,
like charge out into the open -- the world is especially unkind to young
Lieutenants... :)
