My opponent has the cards and was supposed to give me a set today, but he
didn't. He will also give me a copy of the WD articles for the fire storm
and Night hawks. Since I am still learning the game I am trying a variety of
detachments. I have enough jetbikes for a full host, but not enough for two.
Snap fire is a new rule for me. I would appreciate a basic rundown.
Thanks
Andy
