2) SG does need to scale up a little more. Doesn't necessarily need
multi-figure basing (although that makes it easier to handle), but
having it
set up as fireteams while activating a squad/platoon.
(One issue that needs to be thought through is the "splitting weapons fire
against the *same* target" for suppressions. It always seemed to me that
doubling the suppressions by splitting fire wasn't really in the spirit of the
suppression rules).
With a complete rework across the rule sets, you should be able to
vertically integrate a campaign/battle.
DSIII Close Assault => SGIII normal battle. SGIII Close Assault => FMAS
battle.
That sort of vertical integration would be a first as far as I'm aware and
would certainly appeal to several styles of play (the strategist controls the
DS level play, he commits his commanders to the fray and sits back providing
fire support before continuing after the lower level resolution).
With a points system at the DSIII level (with a quick comparison of
NPV/CPV
vs DS points for grand strategic campaign play), you don't need points at
the lower levels, as it becomes too fiddly to balance infantry/vehicles
at the smaller scales.

I know I downloaded them at the time; can't remember if I sent comments back.
My big problem for the last few years has been no opponents to physically test
this stuff.

Oh, I understand!
And, yes you did send me feedback. You suggested I change the support pulser
settings. I acknowledged your contributions in the latest version of the
rules,
For sci-fi gaming, I do much prefer 15mm. Mostly to do with the ground
scale and 15mm is better for those of us that are optically challenged to
paint figures. I also have over 20 packs of traveller 15mm (still in blisters)
when I
cleaned out a warehouse in 1995 + another 50 or so figures that need
stripping second hand.
Its also a lot easier to use 15mm on deckplans (and SJG offer many of their
deckplans in 15mm last I looked) or even on 25mm deckplans as you can really
pack the figures into close quarters.
