Im gonna fight out a similar battle today except that I have played heresy a
few times

Right, but then again it really should be...

i think it should be just 1 move phase...dividing into smaller segments
after orders get tiresome

>6) Must open-sheaf templates touch? We assumed yes.

Sounds ok....but of course I dont know

>12) Do supporting units need a line of sight to lend support? We said yes

Actually i think that hurling grenades, sneaking forward and snapfiring at
enemies, small mortars and auxiliary grenade launchers should be enough to
allow support even without LOS

i think they should be left out alltogether

i suggest limiting side armor to -1
