I'd certainly be interested in seeing it, Allan, mainly for that 
reason! With all the 15mm we've been releasing, I've been considering 
modifications to SGII (or even a new ruleset, though that's VERY far 
away <wry grin>) for 15mm with fireteam/squad based figure 
groups......

As to releasing SG-SL for public consumption, I don't imagine that 
will be much of a problem, though I'd like to take a look at it first 
if that's OK.

Best,

Jon (GZG)
