[SGII] Vehicle Command Suite Effects

Good choice, an excellent system!

This is probably the one fault with SGII, in it's (mostly successful) attempt
to not be too legalistic, it does seem to have left big gaps.

> Aside from costing 8 capacity, what other effects does the command

I suspect that this is very much up to the player (or umpire) to decide. I
think it unrealistic to ascribe platoon C&C functions to a unit inside a

vehicle that is almost a big as 8 men in full combat armour! To be honest even
Company level infantry command seems a task that would only need a signaller
lugged suite.

Vehicle units on the other hand might well deserve a CnC suite. So perhaps
combined arms Company and upwards might require the CnC unit to be a vehicle.

> I was tempted to say that while the command vehicle is on-table, all
A signaller vehicle might allow liason with off-table units, such as
artillery, aerospace etc or battalion or above command.

The idea of all communications flowing through a central hub I don't like,
after all it would be much easier to spoof/hack/disable such a system.

The CnC's role is largely to dispense extra activations to subordinate units,
allowing (for example at company level) 4 units to simultaneously

fire at a particular target.

I suspect that the capacity listing is more to synchronise SGII with DSII.

Comments, corrections, abuse, all welcome (except the last one)
