Quote: (The_Real_Chris @ Nov. 25 2009, 18:20 ) Elite A unit with this ability raises the initiative of the formation to 1+ for the duration of the game. If it dies, does the formation lose the initiative bonus? Afterall it was in the formation and the ability states "the duration of the game." |

In which case it is the formation that is Elite rather than the unit! Good idea, I'll have to try that one out. |

Possibly something for Chromas compilation? Imagine it's be a bugger to accurately point for all the races/combinations though. |

Well I can see a use for it in the current tau list and maybe a couple of chaos lists. |

"Experience level" will be a concept, particularly for campaigns, that will be included in the EPIC: Total War project. Since the Tournament army lists specifically state what the appropriate initiative values are for the formations they contain, I don't see the need for it as a "special rule" in standard play. |

i have to agree with chroma on this one, although i really do like the idea for a campaign setting. great ideas both ways with elite and rookie. Tim NZ (Still awaiting in baited breath for a unified World Epic rule set)
