RE: Alien FT in Stargrunt

G'day,

Balance wise it depends what your humans have got, what kinda space
marine
are we talking? ;)

We find with PA squads that 7 is large, but that's just us. You may find
that you want to run smaller squads or fewer of them against more
lightly
armed and armoured humans.

Shouldn't need twiddling as effectively human in what they use and how
many
there are.

That's big but not unheard of.

On first pass run them as they are, if they're too strong then worry
about
"balance" ;)
