[SG] Partisans

Just a thought I'm putting on "paper" so nothing happens to it...

Partisans/guerrilla squads are called as if off board support.

When/if they show up, the "controlling" player gets a
scenario-determined number of squads, quality untrained/green/regular,
which move and hide as snipers but fight as normal infantry. They will not
normally have support weapons, just rifles (and perhaps an IAVR or two).

Partisans communicate with each other as 1 command level separation, with the
regular forces as 2 (if you're lucky) levels separation.

Partisans are always interested in getting more stuff, either from
their own side (if at all possible--"I'm sorry, we can't undertake
that mission without a machine gun, 2000 rounds, and a crate of IAVRs...yes,
it is a simple recon mission, we still can't do it without that...") or from
the other side if they find a soft target.

I'd think they'd have SAWs--but of whatever model the
enemy is using.:) To make them more useful, you might make them able to spot
as troops one or two
grades up or perhaps even more--troops rated "green"
because they have no stomach for a standup fight, but who have been evading
enemy patrols for years and spot as elites would be the extreme, but not
implausible. You might also allow them to detach a guerilla to a Regular squad
to act as a "guide" (and bring his enhanced spotting abilities with him).

And a dumb LT that makes too many promises finds himself in hot water with his
chain of command... His side might win the battle, but he personally would not
win the AAR.

This is a standard problem for Green Berets. Train the people you're
supporting, but don't give them all your firepower.
