You know the very (or was that varied) open structure of the IF (plus
their um, 'open' political format) is attracting me to get some IC
figures and try and organize an IC force for DS2...

Would they be HVC, GMS/H, HKP, MDC, or DFFG prone?  I would think DFFG
or
maybe HVC?  HEL seems unlikely (lots of closed terrain...)
