| The real challenge is not so much in the wounds but in the transport. You could just do a "counts as" for transport purposes, but in general I think that there is no game balance reason why attack bikes are Light Vehicles. |

| Dang, those are bigger than even US quarters, and that's getting pretty pricey for bases. HOWEVER! I just went and looked at some of my old historical bases, and I've got some wooden 20x25mm infantry bases that are almost exactly 2/3 the size of a Warmaster base. Two bikes fit on them perfectly! I'l... |

I'm 'Merican... We don't have no pee money round these parts...
Which looks like it's a shame, those are some sweet looking bases, and you can't beat the price. What diameter are those? |

| I opened up a blister of Space Marine bikes I'd bought a couple years ago and found that it was missing a sprue, so I only had 9 bikes and an attack bike. Even if I based them two each I could only get five stands with an added character, which I had but didn't want to commit to like that. Well, a c... |

| This seems like a pretty solid scenario to me. I agree that spacecraft will be very effective here, but that cuts both ways. If a defender just puts a delaying force on the objective and brings in something like a Battle Barge Turn 3, I can see some REALLY ugly stuff happening around the objective. ... |

My little girl is 8 months right now. She's really a sweetheart - when out in public she totally digs just taking it all in.
My wife is... different. *8) Being alone with her is OK, but not for a couple of days at a time. It's OK if I take the little one, but she wants me around to help. |

| OK, stupid question - I know that multiple characters give stacking bonuses, ie if there are two inspiring characters in an assault they get +2 result. But Space Marine Supreme Commanders have the Leader special ability AND the Supreme Commander special ability, which includes Leader. When combined ... |

| @AoC: Im sure Chris and I can come up with a weekend to come down. Midweek might even work as well. Late July and on would probably work for me, but no guarantees. I go back to work the second week in August, so it would need to be before then. I also may need to bring a baby with me, since the wif... |

| Here is my argument against complete random deployment - the scenario can be completely ruined due to poor rolling on deployment. Some sample conditions: 1) First deployment is #1 or #6. Defender, with many more activations, jumps the isolated troops, assaulting them in their deployment zone and des... |

| Hmmmm... quite the road trip for us Bay Area guys, but maybe during the summer when I'm not working. Of course, the wifeies have to approve of this plan as well. Kealios, what do you think? |

| As Kealios said, I had a plan to break the scenario, and you saw how it worked out. Basically, I was thinking I'd apply massive force to whoever got close to me while hiding the transports behind AA cover. Unfortunately for me, between my terrible rolling and Kealios' amazing armor saves with his Si... |
