Hi!
I'm for this, mainly because I have a crapload of bikes that I can now use en masse <chuckle>.
Your right though. Its odd that IG have it and Marines dont.

Subject: [NetEpic ML] Problem with Marines
> There are two things which don't seem right in the Marine army lists and have bugged me for a long time: lack of self-propelled AA and bike companies. I mean, a IG army is supposed to be slow and ponderous while a Marine chapter is fast and mobile. Yet IG has SP AA platform and bike company while Marines have static AA (scorpion) and only single bike squadrons. Yet even in codex chapters one company (6th) is trained in bike use.

> Name: Space Marine Bike Company
> Contents: 1 HQ of 1 bike stand, 2 bike detachments of 5 bike stands and 1 attack bike detachment of 5 attack bikes.
> Break Point: 8
> Morale: 2
> Victory Points: 3
> Cost:325
> Special Rules: Since the bike company represents the bulk of a Chapter's bike forces no bike support cards may be fielded together with the bike company.
