Once again I point to the Challenge magazine mini module 'Rifle River'. Anyone contributing to this debate who hasn't read it really should. GDW had obviously given some thought to some of the issues we are debating here.
Anyone who does not have access to 'Rifle River' and would like to read it, feel free to PM me and we'll work something out.
