DoWs comes with 7 playable characters, two of which are either left in the APC or controlled by the GM. The limit of 5 PCs is more to do with scaling the game for a particular level of difficulty.

I think there is no problem using all the characters.
You should however think of other NPCs to be used as replacement PCs if/when (some of) your players lose their character.
If you have 7 players, you probably need at least 4 or 5.

Thanks a lot.
I thought the two more characters would be a good backup because the adventure has a general lack of backups.
But maybe the sc are able to finde one or two more marines in the city to pick up.

It is easy to add characters.
You can just put some Marines or civilians to be added as you said...
I just meant that if you have that many players and use up the PCs, to prepare some NPCs ahead of time to add if needed (it can be lethal) and not lose time creating new if someone dies.
