Detachments in Stargrunt

I submitted this question to Mr. Tuffley, and his response is included
below.	He suggested I submit this question to the list, and so here it
is.  What are your thoughts?

My initial reaction is that the SL could probably give the orders to
part
of the squad to form the detachment, but the detached subunit would
still
have to shake off its suppression before it could actually do anything;
however this is one of those interesting questions that raises all sorts
of
other issues -	maybe you should put this one to the mailing list and
see
what everyone else thinks about it?
