Again, did the Marines forget to do this when they quit the scouts for the
marines. And on the same topic in another game, in WH40K you use scouts to lay
booby traps, and in Chambers of the Horned Rat from issue 199 (I've been reading
my old WD since I don't have a subscription anymore) Andy Chambers figures he
can't give this player the booby traps strategy card because he lost all his
scouts in a previous battle. So what, do Marines forget to lay boobytraps once
they leave the Scouts corp?
