Of course! I happen to know that a revision for the rules is in the works,
though, and that will clear up a lot of problems- plus, if you are just
starting out, you'll have enough to keep track of with the regular troops, and
SPs would just muddy the waters even further. But as you play more and more,
adding in the supplements only makes the game more fun.

Tactics aside, the game mechanics for breaching walls are in the BW chapter
about Bases. Read up on those, and your tactics will probably follow as a
natural extension. One thing is for sure, you're going to want to be doing
combined fire of some kind.
