Hear, hear! Why would the Commander of a Veteran Company be all that much
better then a normal commander for other Marine formations? A Commander is
simply a superior officer. Granted he's probably more experienced that the
other troops but Would he necessarily be that much better than the
Veterans? Let's just leave HQs of a certain figure type as
standards. That way there is little confusion on the field.

Yep. Have to agree here too. Whole companies of Veteran/Elite Imperial
Guard? There's really that many of them to go around? If we are going to
allow for Veteran/Elite IG troops, let them be Special Card units for most
battles and only allow their use as more common cards in special
scenarios. Otherwise what is the point of taking basic IG?
