This was discussed in the last Q&A update. Why do IG infantry pay 25
points for the HQ three times? Answer: because of the Tank support. (do
not understand the reasoning behind this myself). Remamber: Tank
Detachments with a lot of infantry support do not pay those points.
However we (the mailing list) were set the task to re-write the infantry
detachment list accordingly. I already mailed an attempt to limit Tanks
(no more than one per captain or rough rider command) but no one
responded.
