They can't=
move past an enemy detachment in the assault phase. They have to move
to=
wards the enemy, not necessarily the nearest enemy, but they cannot move pa=
st one
enemy unit to get to another.
Anyone else see anything a little w=
rong with this? I can sort of understand the logic, but it seems a little '=
gamey' to me. Half the fun of having highly mobile troops is to strike wher=
e the enemy least expects it, to mount sort of lightning raids behind lines=
. One of the things that really gets me about the snap-fire rules is that i=
t stops thing from moving. I wish there was some rule for speeding past the=
enemy, like if your base speed was 10cm or more than the snap-firers you d=
id not have to stop or something. This would represent troops and tanks dri=
ving through thin spots in the enemy lines to attack vital targets. obvious=
ly moving through a mass of troops would not be a good idea, but that one t=
ac stand wouldn't stop a tank company from going past him.
Just a thou=
gh.
