Comment on “Expedition II”

I like that you brought up the ways in which normal party-level activities are and aren't parallel to expedition-level operations.

In terms of rule structure: at first blush it seems that surveillance, recon, and intelligence might be able to form a tighter unit inside the overall "lead an expedition" rules. "What do we know about the environment and the enemy, and can we do a little sidling around the edges to expand those knowledges before we pick a course of action?"

So in terms of information flow, reconnaissance could be how the player commits little bundles of resources to expand intelligence and surveillance. With diminishing returns, of course...

Am I on the right track, or am I just trying to make things convenient but missing the depth of the terms?
