| And the ability to have two inspiring characters is almost unique, and certainly something guard can't do. Likewise the Aspects benefit from SR4, farsight, hit and run, brilliant stats, flexible formation makeup, alternate deployment methods etc etc etc, none of which are available to those guard f... |

| The commissar is on a unit, spirit stones were on the formation. The two cannot be compared. Considering what the Commissar is nearly always the last unit to die, they effectively maintain the Leader ability for the formation until the formation is completely gone. I think this is a valid compariso... |

And for IG, the limit is dozens of free Commissars |

| Also were discussing the idea presented here of a "strategic border" that encompassed a 4' x6' centrally located area that would have normal distance effects and where objectives would be placed. Note to the forum, our last 3 games have all been corner to corner deployments, so the strate... |

| Good point on the BTS. Without the activation-count pressure in smaller games, a big BTS for durability is not a big hindrance. Still, I think I'd kill that Russ formation just on general principal... 'cuz I hates me sum Russes. ;) With 3-4 Russ Companies running around, and 6-8 feet of range, they... |

| The very first pic is the board. It is a 12' x 16' length of green outdoor carpet. We make some sort of new terrain addition for each game (we added the central hive city and river this last game. We keep shoes on and try to keep model crushing to a minimum, but inevitably there are casualties every... |

| We were considering requiring the Blitz objective(s) to be deployed outside your deployment zone. BTS fms seem to be very large (the IG one was 1100 pts I think) and given the table size, it was still a challenge to bring sufficient quantities of all these forces to bear to crush it. In fact I think... |

| This covers the initial deployment of forces. Mostly marching in Turn 1 with some long range fire onto the IG garrisons all on overwatch. A turn one comittment to destroying the DeathStrikes and silencing the grand Manticore and Basilisk batteries by the Eldar orbital and planetstriking Vampires. |
