Hi, I rarely comment on this list
(& have 0.0001% interest in Slann/Nercon),
but a statement was made that I think is Wrong.

Unit Coherency; Bloodletters. In my old EPIC
books it states explicitly that if a unit cannot
keep up with the rest of the units in its group,
it MUST BE LEFT BEHIND & MUST try to rejoin it's
group A.S.A.P.. The example given is a group of
infantry & vehicles entering impassable terrain.

I feel that being shot DEAD (& MAYBE regenerating
later) is more of an Incovenience than terrain is,
so the 'dead' unit would also be left behind. If &
when it is no longer Dead, it would have to rejoin
it's group A.S.A.P.

Example: "Hey! They killed Kenny!

 A/ Let's wait here being shot at & watch to see if
    he grows a new torso."
 B/ Those Bast**ds! Get 'em guys! Blood 4 da Blood God!"
  
 Pick one.

WSB :-}
p.s. Scarabs, are they some sort of
     Robot Assault Ferrets?
