I agree with the idea of ground scale, and I would be very happy to see
a
version of Stargrunt with a more balanced mix of infantry and vehicles-
preferably without vehicles being *too* fragile.

I've read in several places that the EW rules in SG2 could use an
overhaul,
but I haven't experienced the problems firsthand.

I think there's a lot that SG2 does right, though perhaps it could be
streamlined a bit. I'm a fan of Allan Goodall's alternate armor rules:

Currently, the SG2 rules collapse with anything more than about 3 squads
per side. What would be the best ways to address this issue?
