Very cool diagrams
Following Benzy's point and in regards to fireteams, I want to start putting more emphasis on the individuality that fireteams should have within a section. On MrSir's mission we had teams of 4 (if I remember correctly) which we treated as separate sections. This gave us more freedom to distribute teams where we wanted to them (i.e. I find having 4 teams of 4 more useful than 2 teams of 8, if that makes sense).
Although I don't want to separate the fireteams within a section, I do want to give FTL's more control over their fireteam (as opposed to all orders coming straight from the SC). For example, Alpha-1 would order Alpha-2 to engage enemies of the right while Alpha-1 engages the front. Alpha-2's FTL would then command his fireteam separately while they complete this task. This allows Alpha-1 to get on with their own task and not need to worry about commanding Alpha-2. Currently I don't think we do this enough and we treat a
Section as one large
Fireteam.
I hope that makes sense.
