But, more to the point, SG2 does not stress hand to hand combat, it
stresses
close assaults. There is a difference. Close assaults are not the hand
to
hand combat of games workshop fame, they represent point blank gunfire
exchanges, grenades, etc. as well as actual physical combat. I have to
say
that I would not play with an opponent who wanted to move as close as
possible to my squads and then fire normally rather than close
assaulting,
as that is the kind of situation that close assaults are supposed to
handle.
