     Here is a bit of hearsay on my part.  I remember reading that the
designer of Squad Leader commented about Role Playing games once.  I've made
games that had individual units, but if I had known it could be taken _that_
far...
     Squad leader has this nice bombed out WWII village and while moving your
units through if the take enemy fire they have to make a morale check.  There
are individual units that may be stacked with the squad that are Leader units,
and they have a ( you guessed it ) leadership score that modifies the squads
morale check.  One thing really stands out in my memory about the game.
Negative leadership score.  There was actually a poor officer who's leadership
would cause the squad to fail their morale check more often.  I mean, it makes
sense really.  To this day I can role play out scenarios in my mind of what
that officer is like.
