Doubling your firepower doesn't increase your
casualties.  Doubling your firepower means you kill
the enemy in half the time which means he has half the
time to kill your guys.  Casualties are directly
proportional to amount of time spent under fire.  I'm
not saying to strip your defenses as much as some
people would say, but you have to balance things out.

I like that plan.  I'd never ditch the PDS--GMS/L
teams are too cheap to NOT buy as much PDS as you can
fit.

BTW, I'm sure you mentioned it, but what house rules
make you want an RFAC??
