I like your idea of fatigue being directly related to Con, with strength
determining what ENC is fatiguing.
Let's play with some numbers and see what happens:
Typical soldier has, say, 13 strength. His maximum encumberance is 78 kilos, or about 172 pounds. That's a bit light for maximum lifting ability, but lifting more than that should make most other actions well nigh impossible (other than slowly moving). Our typical soldier will be able to carry this 78 ENC for a little over 4 rounds, assuming negative your fatigue is still the point of exhaustion. Perhaps you could elaborate on what you wish to do regarding when you are exhausted?
The only objection I have is that you make no distinction between various actions in terms of their effect on fatigue, saying merely that you spend one fatigue point per round.
