Sounds interesting. I was thinking about such a system for choosing the
enemis but I had limited my work on a special SM vs Tyranids scenario :
after the defeat of a Tyranid invasion on the world XXXX, Space Marines
have began to hunt the last Tyranid creatures hidden in the dark forests
of the planet. I was thinking about deploying little Space Marines
detachments, each time a detachment moved close to a special scenari it
could trigger off a Tyranid attack (Tyranid units would have been chosen
randomly in a chart), etc...
My main problem is to randomize the Tyranid behaviour : I think that, as
someone already said it on the ML, that the old robot programs could be
fine...
Perhaps I will adapt this to my skirmishes rules as I don't want to
"mibilize" a whole table to play this kind of games.
