Hi!

This is a preliminary summary of what is the opinion on movement on
initiative.

1-It is obvious the majority wants an alternating system for movement
and most of the posted ones are from 1st edition epic(knowingly or not).
The exact 1st edition system which was a order of movement dependant on
the orders given(charge moves first then advance,etc.)was posted and
also the problems with it have also been debated( so my vipers if given
advance orders cant be pinned since they move always after charge
units).The system I proposed is based on unit manuverability and size so
this problem does not occur.My system has not really been voted against
so please give your opinion on it with any defects you may visualize.
If there is no concensus on exactly what type of alternating system to
be used I suggest that Phillips suggestion of just giving simple
alternation to the present system be used.

2-Regarding vehicle movement and terrain effects the foolowing is what
seems people would like it to look like.

-Troop stands- no restriction except for immpassible terrain
-Cavalry(meaning some bipedal or quadruped mode of locomotion)-may move
through woods at half rate(depending what orders are), this also applies
to other difficult terrain.
-Tracked vehicles- may only enter woods in advance orders(and no other)
at half the advance movement. While in woods must use advance until
woods are cleared( cannot charge out of woods).This also applies to
other difficult terrain.
-Bikes(meaning wheeled vehicles such as ork buggies, space marine bikes,
squat bikes,etc.)Can move through wood only on advance orders at normal
rate.
-Skimmers(refering only to jetbikes as other skimmers are either too
large or dont have means to physically displace trees-like atracked
vehicle). They can enter woods only on advanced orders at normal rate.
I have seen discussions about jet bikes stopping on buildings and other
impassible terrain-remember if it is impassible to vehicles normally it
cant stop there these rules apply to difficult terrain where before they
were not permitted to enter.

Up to now the system I proposed has been slightly(more like barely)
accepted in some cases with some addition,please keep commenting on them
and if any clarification no matter how small is needing just ask-thats
what I'm here for!

United we stand!
Peter
