I just wanted to make sure I hadnt missed anything in my reading of the Guard rule. <br /><br />I think its a great addition to the game. I could always see the Assault terminators looking over at their storm bolter armed bretheren on overwatch and thnking "Lucky Bugger...."!Paul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870589873354977188.post-32053783218790956622009-10-28T22:13:23.938+11:002009-10-28T22:13:23.938+11:00It's a fair point.

My Sergeant with Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield in particular never goes on the offensive in assault as he's exceptionally hard to shift in guard mode.<br />I guess the flip side is you're not going anywhere fast when you're guarding or going on overwatch and that means you're not closing in on your objective.<br />A wily Genestealer player will just park Genestealers in front of your stubbornly guarding assault marine and force him to make the decision to assault. Do this in a corridor and everything comes to a halt allowing the Genestealer plenty of time to horde up his blips and/or flank the marines.Elazar The Glorifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02821450593255759696noreply@blogger.com
