Cheers,

The 20 scorpion unit was an extreme example to illustrate my point. :)

You could always allow understhrenght units. However you would probably never want to purchase them exept when you were some points short of your army strenght... Since they, as you point out, would be risky to take along. However for an ork army they could be a welcome addition since they there could add to both the VP and BP of that army thus eliminating the risk of taking the along. You could for instance boost a couple of Boyz mobz with a couple of Nobz stands... Making it a far better unit at a lower than expected cost.

Hi Niels,

as it seems, we are struggling to reinvent the wheel...

When I spoke about understrength detachments, it wasn't to break down
the company / support card articulation. And if someone tries to push
the envelope, it's not too hard to set some limits.

For example, we could decide understrength detachment/companies
wouldn't change their original break point. A Deathstrike missile
battery of 2 models would just count as having lost one model before
even the battle begins, so just one loss would make the unit break
and - more importantly - gives the *original* VP amount to the
opponent.

So, in fact while fielding a 2-launcher deathstrike missile battery,
you would save 65-70 from your army budget but this unit should still
be worth 2 VP, given after a single loss... So, it's risky!

And if the player is really trying to go further, he can: fielding a
single Deathstrike missile launcher instead of a whole battery, hence
a unit already broken, giving 2 VP from turn one - but without the
burden of the morale roll. Why not, if he's willing to pay that price
to get a single launcher for 65 pts?

I wonder how you could manage to put out a 20 scorpion army with such
rule. Have you tried something similar?
