For those of us whose brave lead minis tend to be harshly treated by
their commander's orders and/or dice, but still want to use names for
at least some of their figs...just name some of the squad members--the
vets--and cheat on their behalf.

For example, one of the squads of the Large Scarlet Single division
has four war weary vets and seven eager new guys.  Enemy machinegun
fire rakes the position and causes three casualties.  Take them from
the new guys.  Or roll a d20, 1-14 is a new guy, 15-18 is a vet, 19-20
is a reroll.  Or, when the medic covers over for triage, roll all the
medic rolls, then assign the "all better!" to the vets and the "oops!"
rolls to the new guys.

You may have to modify these a bit depending on what you feel is
appropriate for picking up support weapons and such.

Just in case anyone missed the reference, go watch the movie "Big Red
One".
