Thanks Beth,

At some point - I must get round to integrating this with my crew
quality/leadership rules I posted recently.

Hmm.. probably base Crew Quality on OQ and Qd, possibly Opp and MR as
well.
Base Leadership on Ld, modified by CF.

Could produce a more complex version that uses all of these ratings :-)

Need to think about it a bit...
