[Churchofgaming] Diaspora - updates on platoon combat

[karl at rpgreview.net]

Hi all,
First here is the Diaspora srd incase there is anyone left who needs it:
http://www.vsca.ca/Diaspora/diaspora-srd.html

Too lazy to check the book right now but I think you can wander off  
but it might put you out of command range which put the unit on  
automatic pilot and makes then rather crap. Not sure how this impacts  
on point 2 below but will do some reading when I'm less tired and drunk.
Also for those interested in designing a few units check out the  
design rules in the platton combat section (not required I have  
designed a version of all the units needed next time but if you want  
to change something...). The 'plattons' are:

Faith Delegation*
Reason Delegation*
Foreign Delegation*
Parlimentry Guard
Reason Special Forces (Orbital drop)
Faith Assault Crusaders (Orbital drop)
Any foreign IVs from ships in orbit
Any ships in orbit: treat these as Artillary

Each would have up to five units.*indicates non-military group.

> 5. Consequences are a free tag
