That's standard. I have to refrain from commenting on your comments/questions
for now, since I don't yet have the game.

That one's easy. Send them all to me! Email me for the address. ;-)
Paul Tobias on the list has a proposal for Knights. Let's see:
=====================================================================
Unit (Role) Move Range FP AV Armor Notes Pts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paladin (Tactical) 25cm 45cm 2 6 6+ 35
Errant (Assault) 25cm 15cm 3 8 6+ 35
Lancer (Cls Sup.) 30cm 45cm 2 6 6+ ClS 45
Heavy (LR Sup.) 15cm 60cm MC(1) 3 5+ Sv 55
Baron (Commmand) 25cm 45cm 3 8 5+ Sv,ClS 60

MC(1)=Mega Cannon SHW, 1 FP for Firefights.
ClS=Close Support
Sv=Save

*Note: Knights count as Walkers using the optional rule (p.104 Battle) if
your group is so inclined.*

*Note: Heavy Knights include both Crusader and Castellan type Knights.*

Imperial Titan Legion Knight Detachment
---------------------------------------
Command. Choose one:
Baron..........60pts.
HQ............+25pts.

Main Force. Choose up to three squads:
Tactical Knight Squad.................35pts. each
        consists of 1 to 3 Paladin Knights
Assault Knight Squad..................35pts. each
        consists of 1 to 3 Errant Knights
Close Support Knight Squad............45pts. each
        consists of 1 to 3 Lancer Knights

Support. You may choose up to the total number of Main Force Squads:

Heavy Knight Squad....................55pts. each
        consists of 1 to 3 Heavy Knights

CoC: Baron-->Main Force unit-->Support unit
--------------------
=====================================================================
Paul, is this the latest?
I've seen Squat rules on the net. On the site of the guy who runs Bartertown,
I think. Citadel Journal is supposed to come out with rules for both. It will
be interesting to see how they compare.
