I'm try my hand at designing some DS vee for my homegrown FT power.

1st what is the benefit ingame of having a Command and Control Vehicle on the
battlefield, I'm just not seeing it in the rules.   But might be missing
it.

2nd.   I remember once stumbling over a DS mod to play in the Hammer
Slammer universe, could someone post the link?

Thanks There may be more to come as I work up some designs.

You can rally units (p.24, last section).

Thanks Oerjan.

I do have another question, I'm trying to build a AH-6 "Little Bird"
style
helicopter.   I'm look at size 1, which if I understand can't have any
armor, am I correct?

Also, the when U have line inf requiring 4 spaces and BA 8 spaces.   How
many individual troopers can I "fit" within that space.

You can have one fireteam.

In SG2 it's one space per trooper (2 per power trooper) which means that the
average DS2 rifle fireteam is 4 troopers, which is reasonable.

It will be Armour/0, ie. a softskin vehicle.

DS2 doesn't track individual troopers. 4 spaces allows you to fit one
non-PA infantry element, ie. either one rifle or assault element of 4-5
soldiers or one specialist element of 2-3 soldiers + their special
equipment (APSW, GMS/L, LAD or whatever).
