RE: SG2 Question for WH40K Players

Don't double the CC roll for regular marines.  Only Terminators should
get the double CC roll, mostly due to their armour protection (which
isn't transferred across to SG2).  The +1 die shift for CC weapons is a
big enough advantage.
I played a game myself several months ago, with 10 marines & 5 scouts
verses 25 guardsmen.  Even without the doubled CC, the scout squad
_captured_ 8 guardsmen & killed 4 in 3 turns.  (& I was playing the
guardsmen, teaching someone else. ;-)
