Tomb... you may not have noticed this <g>, but the DS2 mechanics are
less
detailed than the SG2 ones for *all* weapon types. This is for a reason:
if
you attempt to play a battalion-sized engagement with SG2-level detail,
the
game plays very slowly. If all *other* weapon types are less detailed in
DS2 than they are in SG2, why would GMSs and their counter-systems be an
exception?
Harmonizing DS2 and SG2 only works to up to a certain point - and when
you
go past that point (and IMO you're well on the way past it), you
effectively end up with a single game (SG2) played with two different
terrain scales - 1/400, with 15mm or 25mm figures, and 1/4000, with 6mm
models.
