Re: [GZG] Question: small-arms tech and troop quality....

Assuming that the purpose of the discussion is leading to an expression
of 
the points value of units in a wargame, then you need to factor in the 
mission types.

If the mission involves protecting the base line from the enemy, say
against 
a zombie horde or whatever or its a rescue the downed aircrew in no mans

land, then a small number of power armour elite troops might not be able
to 
be in enough places on the table to achieve the mission and simply be 
swamped by the low tech hordes.

If the missions are simply to kill each other then it could be a
reasonable 
place to start.

As has been mentioned morale and training are not necessarily the same
axis 
but could be 2 different dimensions. Historically training and morale
has 
not always been the same. The recent discussion on mercenaries could
leave 
you with highly trained mercenaries that are reluctant to get killed 
unnecessarily, or you could get units motivated by belief in the system
but 
who are not well trained.
