Card Initiative and vehicle MGs

Vehicle (man fired) MGs:
I use 12" Range Bands. Why? HMGs have put effective fire out to well 
over 1000m. Limiting to QD just limits regulars RB to 320m. That's 
silly - the HMG then only has the same range as the rifles. Now, you 
could do that, but you'd have to include a modifier (double?) to make 
it sensible. 

Card Initiative:

Good comments from Scott S. Yes, I can see card initiative being a 
problem in some groups. Usually when we play SG2, some folks are 
jawing, some eating, others playing on the PC at some first-person 
shooter, so the timing issue isn't a big one. But, just to point out, 
I've seen alternating activation games drag at cons too.... everyone 
can't be involved if some complex resolutions (ie Close Assault with 
defensive fire) are going on anyway. But cards might increment the 
uninvolvement problem. 

One other card option for those interested: Indeterminate turn 
length. Put in one (or more) cards that are end of turn. When one 
comes up, the deck is reshuffled. Unactivated units and unspent 
commander activations are lost. This makes for a very tense (if 
sometimes a bit odd) game.
