-----> Hey, as nasty as it might seem, the fact that they have no ranged
firepower ought to cut down on their effectiveness somewhat. As for the
spirit of the rules, well, in 2nd ed you would see 3-5 GD's typically.
Granted, they were leaders, but they were also much harder to kill. If
someone really wants to take a bunch of B-thirsters (or whatever), fine
- are they really going to get their points worth out of them ? I doubt
it. Has anyone tried this? How'd it work?
