Hmmm...I think that this a bit of a shame really as adding just one Marines=
detachment kind of fits their image as Elite troops (and hence fewer in nu=
mber) of the Imperium. Most of my mixed IG/SM army makeups have a lot fewer=
(25 percent ot less) Marines to Guard simply because it looks in keeping w=
ith the Imperial fluff.
However, saying that, the point about strategy rat=
ing is well taken....I'll have to think about this a bit :(
Alun, your sug=
gestion could be a good work around for this.
