Well, i can agree with the Nullify field and the CC regeneration.
BUT, i don't like the 25% restriction on true Slann. They are few in
numbers, yes, but 25% is too low. In a 4000 point game, you wouldn't
even be able to field the Mechs as a company card! Some sort of
restriction may be the way to go, but i'd still like to be able to
field
the stuff i've bought. After all, ive spent close to USD500 and
countless hours painting, and i don't want to see most of my
miniatures gathering dust! Besides, the point cost for the Slann
units are way to high to set a percentage. You'd have to worry
more about numbercrunching, than putting together a playable
army!

For now maybe just 50pts to all support and company cards,
Drop the nullify
field to 5cm instead of 15cm, 25% allies rule needs to be
used when choosing
a True Slann army they are after all few in number (why they
use the Mechs
in the first place).
Who played the Tech Guards? What did he use? Can't see how
they lost I've
yet to beat them LOL Knights can out number Slann Mech 3 to
one point wise.
