Bugs need biovores to get the assault advantage. We use the max morale lose to BM = normal
morale of the unit. I'm also considering saying that in addition, you cannot lose morale
to BM's in excess of the number of units left in the detatchment, if it is a non
war-engine detachment. It would end 1 lone stand with 9 BM's from prematurely ending the
game. I'm supposed to play aaron tonight, so I'll see how he likes that rule.

Mmmmmmmm, space marines.

Using normal rules, taking 10+ biovore will nearly always end the game before anything
decisive has happenned, unless you get them all killed quickly. This can be really
frustrating when you spend 3 turns setting up a devastating assualt, then the game ends
before you can launch it!
