So Against All Odds is no longer special.<BR/><BR/>Also I read that there will be a assault reaction move in the main rules essentially giving all units countercharge. Furthermore, the countercharge USR will give a +1 Attack to all models reacting... so essentially all SW will get a Wolf Pelt.<BR/><BR/>---<BR/><BR/>Hey Mike, have you considered giving your Wolf Guard squad leaders Fists? 2 Attacks with the fist, plus one on charge/countercharge. Not bad.ubermosherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16771839407680065943noreply@blogger.com
