Almost right on the first bit. A satellat takes its actions at the same time as its owner, so if the owner is eliminated then the satellat cannot take any further actions. However it still automatically goes onto alert status every turn so it can still make reactions (an unlimited number since...

Grenades don't scatter and you don't really miss the target. Roll agility for everyone in range of the blast versus the shoot score of the attacker, you can wind up missing the target model but hitting someone else.

The only real issue I can think of is that more models can get into melee with you. So if you're facing something like a zombie horde you'll get even more swamped than usual. I can't see any mechanical advantage to larger bases so I'd be inclined to allow it. Personally I like large models on...

You cannot spend above the hero's listed credit allowance, either when creating your initial force or later in the campaign. The only way to get more equipment for a hero is to give him the Wealthy talent.

The new rules are fundamentally very similar to the first version, but there's a lot of minor changes that add up to a much tighter ruleset. Talent trees have been reorganised with a bunch of new talents and others that have been adjusted. It's hard to summarise as a lot has been tweaked.

Rubber ricochet ammo is weak, possibly that's where the confusion is coming from?

That's a very extreme example, the 48 damage you quote assumes that every one of the mob's melee dice scores higher than Dredd's highest which seems unlikely. That said though, it seems to represent the reality of the comics fairly well. Anybody can get dragged down and swarmed by sheer weight...

To the best of my knowledge, neither of these combos will work (for the reasons you've outlined).

You're completely correct in how you interpreted it. You move all the models in the mob simultaneously, then fight melee with each one in turn (with all the bonuses that entails). I've had this confirmed directly by Matt. And yes, this means they can be absolutely lethal.

1: Assuming the models are on the same sized bases, you can get 6 models into melee with one target. Note that although you can only get the bonus for charging if you move in a straight line, you do not have to charge when entering melee. So long as you can reach the target it doesn't matter if...

Anything that you would be able to do during a move action, you can do during the move portion of a melee action.

You are playing it right, it is that good. Couple of things to bear in mind though. A Psi-Judge has to be at least level 4 in order to use this power (assuming they don't put talents into anything apart from the Pyrokine tree) which hopefully means that the opposition is a similar level and...

Any model fielded as part of a Justice Department force can ride a Lawmaster (except a riot judge). This would include Dredd. The rules for this are in the vehicles section, rather than being reproduced for every individual applicable hero and minion.

The additional hit is already included in Dredd's stats, as a level 20 hero he would normally have 21 hits and Academy Star takes it to 22. The same should apply to any other talent that increases stats.

No, you can't. Your initial upgrades have to be on different stats. I'd recommend +1 Agility, +1 Shoot, then the second +1 shoot at level 2. And Dual Pistol Master at the earliest opportunity.
