How do you handle fireteams? Do you still do everything by squads, or do
you
treat each fireteam as a separate entity (essentially as what SG2 calls
"a
squad")?

I started to work towards a set of fireteam rules for SG2 but started to
feel
that it was going to be more trouble than it was worth. I've long felt
that
SG2's squads have fireteams abstracted into them. I'm just curious if
you've
come up with formal fireteam rules, or if you just "metagame" the
fireteams
(i.e. imposing realistic fire team restrictions in the way you use them
on the
tabletop without actually codifying them into rules).
