Thats constructive critisism, and I agree with Rune. To teleport termies may
work in 40K but might be somewhat over the top in netepic. (It would be near
to imposible for IG to defend their precious artillery)
But I still think it should be possible to mount termies in adequate
transports. The termies are quite expencive either way, so I dont think it
would be cheesy.
With a Termiecompany on foot to 650 points, you must bye 4 Rhinosquads for
transport, thats a total of 850 points and 11 VP for the enemy when he
breaks it.
That way the owning player must be real careful how he uses the company.

I have to agree with my friend here. Besides, letting termies
teleport anywhere they like without any penalties sounds cheesy
to me. Why would you field anything but termie companies?
Just teleport them to all the VP's and dig in..
This is of course if i have understood the discussion correctly..

I say lets not dibble to much with the rules.... This is something that is
nice to have, but definately not something we need to change! I say, lets
not change this, or make it an optional rule.
