Re: (DS): Systems per Class

No, it's not.  It's a reflection of the reality that SF rules have great
difficultly modeling all the wacky things real armies do with their
equipment.  And staying simple.  I left out the smiley face 8^) so
that's
my error.  Lots of 'real world' AFVs that violate DS 2 design rules. 

And the SG 2 rules don't really reflect LMGs/MMGs/maybe HMGs very well. 
Or some would say at all.

Rules for games are at best attempts at reality but in SF (and Fantasy)
reality is not the point of the game.

YMMV.

Gracisa,
