It's quite clear. Detachments on Assault orders have half their FP
rating. So calculate the FP rating for firing units, divide by two (for
Asault orders). This is the detachment's FP rating. Then deduct Blast
Markers for the final total.
     
     
     
     
     And here was me playing that you work out Blast Markers BEFORE
     modification for Blast markers, Assault, etc. I really should carry my
     books with me.
     
     
     As for the rest of the comments - I fully agree that a few more games
     before judgement would 'go down a treat'. The 'picking armies quickly'
     is solved when you settle on favourite detachments. Just use them like
     Company Cards (only more flexible). I cut a 1000pt army down to 600pts
     for a quick game in 2 seconds - it would have been quicker if I didn't
     have 4 sheets to flip through ;)
