In the real world, with half of my force on "cover", the other half
on "bound", when my guys move, if something takes them under fire,
there is reply fire immediately from about the same effective range
as the fire engaging me.

Whereas if I do this with one squad in SG, I may well get suppressed
by the incoming fire with NO return fire, and if I do it with
several, bounds take me far enough away to the point where my fire
might be 1) out of range (given SG2s range band rules) or 2) at least
less effectual than the incoming fire.

Two fuzzy thoughts from the vac head:

Do the home-grown overwatch rules include returning fire even if the
opposition doesn't move?

In RL, aren't you restricted as to how far your 'bounds' run so that
they
don't 'take me far enough away to the point where my fire
might be...'?
