Thanks for reviewing this under-appreciated book!

You're welcome! I agree that a Stormwatch supplement would have been great. I'm only familiar with the later Warren Ellis run on the series, but it really started getting into the "change the world" ethos in an interesting way.
I don't have a gaming group these days, but I'd be willing to run the Authority RPG with SAS. I might consider the modifications mentioned in this thread:

To summarize: roll high (which helps alleviate the weird 2d12 mechanic suggested in the Authority to deal with the high ACV/DCV/Stat numbers) using target numbers for static contests AND ditch the variable damage and go with a flat max damage on a hit, modified slightly by Margin of Success, crits (I assume) do flat 2x damage.
