Well, I WANT you to confess where the rebel base is... Heu, I mean,
hum... What is this "game of Star Wars miniatures battles"?

YES, I like it. I've always loved these War Engines and the Empire
Strikes Back is the best SW movie because of the Hoth assault by the
imperial AT-AT.

En effet, I would have seen AT-ST as dreadnought class units, something
like this :
Mvt : 20cm
CAF : 4 or 5
Armor : 6+
Weapons : 1 AT shot
Value : 40 or 50 points?
>Any ideas on what the points cost should be? I lost the formula...
If I remember well, the formula can be find in "The Eye of Terror" web
site.
For infantry, you already gave the stats for the stormtroopers but don't
forget that the main force of the Empire comes from standard imperial
soldiers (same stats as the Imperial Guards)... Well, we've got an elite
force supported by a very big cannon fodder army, now I know where GW
found its ideas for the W40k Imperium forces. ;o)
Do you think that the micro-machine figs could represent imperial units
such as AT-AT?
I've got the Imperial Guide of West End Games, I will search new ideas
of unit if the mailing list members are interested.
