What is the advantage of snap fire? I don't understand what it is good for
too fire at your opponent whiel he's moving (beside the case you can SEE him
while he's moving and can't SEE (+SHOT) him anymore when he moved his
detachment)

mmhhh interesting point of view....
I understood the formation rule of NetEpic and Space Marine/Titan Legions in
this way:
100% ok formation rule (proved by a rule-text) :-) :
- models in a detachment (e.g. 6 Tactical stands and 3 Rhinos) can be up to
6cm away from the next model
- different detachments of a company have no unit coherency (NetEpic Core
Rules p.10; and i think somewhere in the TL rulebook)
unknow formation rule / how i played it :-) :
- at least one model of a detachment of a company and support detachments
need to be within 25cm of an HQ to be given orders (we played SM/TL always
this; i can't find any phrase in the original rulebooks or in the NetEpic
rules which support that....);
hmmm this one seems to be a little complicated.... maybe anyone can help me;
It could also be that this rule "evolved" this way in our gaming group,
because we confounded it with the 25cm command range rule of the Imperial
Guard.
Until we meet again
