Squad Leader Archive

The thread about SLs unlocking special abilities in other professions got me thinking. Have any of you played Chrono Trigger? In it, you can perform combo special moves, specific to the mix of characters you have. If there's players A, B, and C in the group, you can perform special move X. If it's A, D, and G, then it's special move Y, and so on. I thinka fantastic new ability for SL would be to enable this kind of combo action within a group. Sure, it's probably not a simple thing to program, but it would add another layer of depth to the game. You could have combos based on professions, like 3 medics = group heal, or entertainer + medic = mind heal, or rifleman + pistoleer + carbineer = mega blast. Any group should be able to perform basic combos, but an SL could enhance them or enable a higer tier of more powerful combos.

Is this a decent idea, or would it create havoc and be unfun?
