It was a bit of large side, we made a few modifications to the rules but overall I was pretty pleased!

It says in the linky. There are also comments on further changes which would be beneficial for the game.

In brief:

1.  Units organised into 'companies' with 3 identical units + leader (sergeant) on one unit card.
2. Suppressions limited to 6 per unit.  When they got to 6, unit had to test for Pinning as if it had more suppressions than models.  This kept down the number of counters in circulation.
3. Didn't use the -1 to hit for suppressions unless the unit had 6.  This speeded up dice rolling.
4.  We used a simple combat table to make sure that any melees were over after 1 round of fighting.

Those were the main changes - just a few experiments to streamline things, and on the whole they worked.

Thanks for the input on the rules. 

The game looked great by the way.  Especially the destroyed tank.
