Re: SG2, using jetbikes in stargrunt.

I thought of that Owen, but then its gets sillier.

Any smart player would take pot shots at the just so they can not
dismount, thus
invalidating the purpose of the troops.The only way is to withdraw from
combat
ro find cover.

Maybe it is the way I use them, but I use them to get units to
advantagous
places on the field. Unless there is lots of covor, just 1 suppression
HURTS.

The best way to use them, is to allow them to dismount while suppress
(any idiot
can dsimount a bike, an APC is alot harder).

There is IMHO a good need for cavalry rules for SGII, something for Bugs
Dont
Surf??
