Hmm, I'd probably leave just about everything out (as Beth points to as well). Sticking to one squad quality(regular) all over spicing it with a green and veteran a side. That should give a good impression of how the troop quality relates to each other. The same thing goes for weapons (no comments on the FP values here) all troops carry the same type of weapon and only give a SAW to the squads. All other stuff can be added later one thing add a time and with no trouble if you have the basics in place first. And though this aproach might seem to be boring "basic" games without all the fancy hardware often ends up beeing real good games in all their simplicity. (actually when I started playing warzone we had a lot of hardware etc - in the end we went for huge battles with 98% grunts and the occasional HMG team. Much more fun (but with 3 actions per mini per turn you can get a s**tload of bullets flying across the battlefield - something you definately don't want to stick your head out to watch when you are hiding in the trench :-)) Well before I trail off in memories of lost and won battles in warzone I'll stop here with - Keep it simple - it WILL be funny any way! Happy gaming! > You may want to stick with morale as is being a new game, but morale I can add that one : http://home.att.net/~agoodall/sg2/sg2.html
