Can anyone with the Rulebook share some details?

[Hiromoon]

Given that it looks like:

1 transport option per 1 squad of infantry

The shadows can do 2 shadows for one transport option.

What about aircraft rules? What are those like? And are there photos of any aircraft models?

Wait until you see the exact wording - it could be 1 transport unit per unit of size 1 models, meaning you'd still be limited to 2 shadows per unit. that said, a command squad and a force recon team will give you 2 shadows each, despite being only 3 or 6 models

possably but then a full strenght usmc squad of 4 fire teams would never be able to transport it self in that case ?

Yup, so many of the buggers they got to walk..... Maybe they will do some models / rules for trucks to transport larger squads of men....

Or you could just take the GW approach and use a blender to fit all the men into 1 transport

I think the USMC should be limited to 2 Shadows per squad for transport, if you want more Shadows then you need to take more squads, not add fire teams to existing squads. This would mean if you want to field 34/36 infantry and all the shadows to transport them, then you need to be taking an infantry company and be limited to 2 tanks. Rather than have it as an Armoured company and have 4 tanks with all those shadows.

So what about Ready actions? Does the rest of the squad get to do anything while the SAW gunner sets up? Any re-rolls like in SST?

DAMN DAMN DAMN I want a copy now.... reading these titbits is just damn frustrating :evil:

There will be a full preview in S&P - just a few days! And we are preparing to ship BF Evo to distributors this week.

Mind you hopefully the quality of the book will improve for the main release, if they only had half a dozen copies at the show then its probable that they where pre-production issues.

Hydraulic failure in the guillotine - that was the only thing that stopped us taking a hundred copies to the show!

What? Couldn't round up a bunch of interns and get the old fashioned paper cutters into use?

 

[lastbesthope]

what do you want to know chaps??

give me a list of questions and I'll do my best to give you the answers....

1: Can command squads have transports ?

1, Transport may take as many uniots as necessary to carry all size one models

So it's based on the number of Size one models not the number of units then?

If so I'll need another 3 Warriors
