> Ground Force Factor (GFF) = the basic unit for ground combat, equal Yeah, it is sort of small, but that makes it dovetail into the FT related troop rules really nicely. > Resources will not always produce the same yield. Some months Actually, I think that it does. The US budgetary surplus right now is because of an unexpected tax windfall (along with the general economy). Russia's tax income depends greatly on how much the taxed feel like paying (the big boys that is), and how "stern" the government is willing to be with them. > The points may be used on any turn to discover orders given in a That could be a little too complex. > Animosity Dice: If the rolling total rises above certain Good point. > With very few exceptions, all units must have orders on every True, but play the game, not the rule. (I can't believe I just said that.) I think that the spirit of the rule should be evident. > I like the Special Ops Teams but think you should have to buy normal Possibly, but we're dealing with abstracts here, and I think the eventual result from making it a two step process would be similar to the one step way, but only adding complexity. Thank you very much for the comments. Keep 'em coming!
