Actually, that last might make a good SG scenario.  If an enemy is
planning
an offensive war in a couple of years, he might train new troops and
then
freeze them (as an economy measure) until he's ready to attack.  If you
find
out about the attack, you could send in commandos to to disrupt their
plans,
eg blowing up the freezers before the troops arrive--that way the enemy
has
the troops (which he has to maintain) and has lost the investment he put
into the freezer.
 If you're really ambitious, you could wait until the troops are frozen,
then capture the base and take the troopers with you when you leave. 
Wake
them up and explain "You can enlist with our Foreign Legion, or you can
go
to a POW asteroid."
