When I play a large DS2 battle, each side has the same leadership and quality,
depending upon their genre. For example, my typical planetary defence force is
all green 2, while my elite Raiding forces are all veteran

Also, I assume all forces start off at confident, so that I don't need to
assign confidence markers until they are needed. You, too, can use a similar
system for your games. Just assign the most typical leadership and morale
quality rating for your side. That way, there is no need for counters until
they are needed.

No predesigned vehicles are only a small flaw. There is plenty available on
the net that I've found. If your group has lots of GW Epic models, you could
use the conversions notes for GW Epic to DSII found here:

There is other sites that have conversions for WWII and Modern. I've also
found that for designing vehicles, that it is very important to have a strong
concept in mind, otherwise, your design will be ineffective. So, design the
genre first, then the vehicles will fit.

I totally agree! Minutes to learn, lifetimes to master. DSII and Stargrunt II
are close to this ideal. There are just a few rough edges that need to be
filed off.
