W=
e play exactly as you do (We pick who moves first) but in this game I had r=
eally commited to the left flank and I wanted to get there as
fast as I co=
uld and manouver to keep the Cult from doing one of those march moves to th=
e next table things :) The slowest memeber of his
Cult of Speed moved 25cm=
 so he could quickly outpace me. As for my opponet, he wanted to start the=
 retreat after turn 2 to keep from
getting into HtH. What I really need i=
s to paint some of my Assault Spawn to help me with the speed. Thanks.


J=
ust out of curiosity, anyone think there is something wrong with the reinfo=
rcements rules? Since the speed bands are essentially 30 cm and less and th=
ings faster, unfortunlay, nothing is faster than 30 cm except biker detachm=
ents. (and flyers of course) So there is no way to get infantry and tanks e=
arliers, because none are faster than 30 cm? Anyone think this is a little =
odd, I mean you think putting troops in transports would get them to the ba=
ttle quicker.
