Cool. I had gotten the impression that there was a dedicated OPFOR
regiment that did nothing but... is that the 11th ACR? How many ACRs
are left nowadays? I know there used to be at least three, but I'm
sure there's been a decline. Have to say, as far as mechanized forces
go, ACRs are definitely a very nice combined arms package. Small but
very potent.

True - the rules allow it, but the only rationalization I can think of
here is that Scouts either get some kind of better drop pod that allows
them to deploy more quickly, their training lets them deploy while
everyone else is still shaking off the effects, or they are actually
dropped in the first pods a minute before everyone else, but not enough
to warrant differentiation in the Epic 40k scale. How long was that
sentence?
