SRM infantry with infernos: Use HT 0*/0*/X
LRM infantry: IF 0*/0*

We've even house ruled Machine Guns:

MG#: Two machine guns, MG2, 2 bonus damage against infantry.

As far as dealing with infantry? Artillery is effective. I also like fast moving units that have the special abilities to deal with them, in a city fight. Infantry can be trouble.
Did you factor in other anti personal weapons or just MGs?

More importantly, has anyone factored in which forum fan rules exclusively belong in?

Well, the discussion derailed, so I figured I would help. If you're irked that much then just move it. I really don't care.

Caring is irrelevant. Keeping fan rules in Fan Rules is.

Short question:

http://masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/6997/foot-level-i-flamer-x2

What does the title 'Foot Level I (Flamer) (x2) ' mean?
Do I get 2 Bases?

It means that you need two stands (in this case 4 points each) to represent a Level I of ComStar/Word of Blake infantry if you're looking to represent such a formation on the table.

Howdy, everyone.  Long time BT player, fairly new to Alpha Strike; my little circle is loving it so for.  Figured I'd tack onto this thread for my question instead of making a whole new post.  I want to know about battle armor.  Take an Elemental AS card as the example.  If I pay the 16 PV, am I getting a single elemental, or a Point of them?  Thank you in advance.   :thumbsup:

Ha, I had only used the AS force builder page when building forces so far.  Thanks a lot, Sartris.
