Well, I've been kicking alternative names around in my head.....
Something like "STARGRUNT - ASSAULT COMPANY" - or even G-CAV 2, as
G-CAV was our first 15mm ruleset! OK, with the G-CAV name we might
get some confusion problems with Reaper's CAV system, but since we
were using it first (G-CAV was published in 1985!) I think we'd have
every right to use it if we wanted to. ;-)

That'd work for me. Building on existing name recognition.

Perhaps "Grav Cav" would be a little more clear than G-Cav?
S-AC works, tho' expect derogatory 'sack of...' comments; G-Cav 2 works
for me, but I'd probably call it Grav Cavalry over Grav Cav, and use the short
version in the text.

SG, not S, so SG:AC should be fine. We just have to hope that people spell out
"Assault Co" instead of shortening it by four letters.
Probably right, though might have to go to StarGrunt, just to be sure.

As you point out, if you work hard, you can find SOMETHING to be naughty
about....

You can't pronounce the SG:AC acroynym easily. "Ess Gee Ay See"... "Ess Gee,
Ack". You can't with SG2 either, but Stargrunt is only two syllables, so it's
easy enough just to say the word (it's all about syllable count).
I don't mind "S:AC" or "SAC" as it can be pronounced "Sack" (just like
Strategic Air Command). And it's "sack", not as in "a sack of..." but in "I
will sack your city!"
I can handle G-Cav or G-Cav 2 (Gee Cav), but I'm not too crazy about
"Grav Cav", for reasons Indy mentioned.

Yep, that led to my comment about abbreviating "Assault Co".

I think it's more clearly SF than "GCav" is, but I'm not crazy about it.
"Cav", to me, implies a larger unit than a company. Although you could just
put "StarGrunt 15" as the subtitle and explain on the product description that
it's....
You know, this is just a thought, but maybe we should finish FMAS before we
get into this?
Hmm, how about Stargrunt: Combined Arms Team? SGCAT for short?
