Actually, I use this for my SG2 American Civil War games. I have a number of
figures based for Fire and Fury in 15mm, which means you have 3 figures per
base.
What I did at first was simply use 3 bases for a squad of 9 figures. I marked
casualties with casualty counters at first. Later, I did away with that and
started using casualty caps. I used two different colours, one for wounded,
one for dead.
Now I have a number of additional figures and I'm going to base them in a
different way. I'm either going to base them all individually, or base a few
two to a stand, and the rest individually. As casualties acrue, I will
exchange a 3 figure base for the suitable number if individual or
two-to-a-base figures.
I don't know about the 15mm sci-fi figures you are using, but I know
that most historical lines have casualty figures. I'm thinking of getting some
of those to represent the dead and wounded figures.
In fact, Jon might want to consider this for SG2. *grin*

I hadn't thought of that. That would certainly be nice if you maintained
individual casulaties, although it does increase the
modelling work-- you need not just riflemen casualty stands, but also
casualty stands for your specialists and leaders.
Still, my preference would be some mechanism that allows me to simply

There are plenty of other 15mm figures I'd like to see for the SG2 line
before Jon gets to casualties - heavy weapons teams, gun crew, tank
crew, skimmers, grav bikes, cavalry etc, etc....
Ever hopeful (although in fact I already know the answer)

They already exist in 25mm, for new anglican:)

How about something along the lines of:
When allocating hits amongst the squad, allocate by stand rather than by
figure. Calculate number of effective hits (eg ones that cause casualties) as
normal.
If a stand receives casualties (WIA or KIA) equivalent to half the number of
figures on the stand or more, then remove the stand. Otherwise ignore the fire
results.
Comments?
Jon already has body bags for 25mm

I would not think that doing a 15mm version would be too difficult.
Until then you could do something similar with air-dry clay or plaster.
Of course this is only for "dead", not "injured".
For injured, you can get some red report covers (the kind with the plastic
slide-on spine) and cut out some 'Blood Pools' to place under injured
figures. Not as good as molded casualties, but will do until the miniatures
are molded.
