This question came up in a game.

Can Infantry move and fire (with a -1 to there dice) i know they don't have stabalization but they are not AFV's they are grunts with rifles

Cheers, Barry

No

Or think of it as they do but always miss due to incompetence so no point in rolling the dice ;-)

Auto-linked Infantry with stabalisation anyone? Now there's a an idea for a stinking pile of cheese

There may be a couple of infantry units in the lists that have stabilisation, can't remember off the top of my head

Infantry
Move 10 Foot
Assault 5
Hit 6
Save 6
Direct Fire 6 at 30cm Stabilized
100 Points.

Interesting. Someone want to try it?

One of these days I will do the stat for Heinlein Mobile Infantry {from the book not the films!}
Now that would be some evil troops to put on the field of battle!
Won't be getting many of them in 2000pt battle group!
Just thought about this as I type. . .
Don't want to be on the receiving end of them.

They would be great

One figure for an entire squad of MI.

Best be getting home to the bookshelf, start the reading and taking notes part.
Mmmmm. . .
Y-rack grenade launchers, flamethrowers, micro-nuclear weapons and i'll be damned if I can remember the rest. .
oh oh oh. . . Talking grenades that tell you what they're going to do. I may not have that bit right.

I think the talking grenades that tell you what they are going to do was "Rogue Trooper" in 2000AD, from memory the Heinlein ones were the nuke's that counted down. You knew you couldn't get away while they were telling you how long you had to live.

Not read the book for a while so may be wrong, won't be the first time, doubt it will be the last.

Any one for a genetic trooper army ala "Rogue Trooper"? Is it a pre-massacre formation or the god like Rogue himself? How do you stat up an army of 1 with self aware equipment?

I'm a thirty second bomb, I'm a thirty second bomb, 28, 27, 26, 25,....

The grenades talk in the native language of the "skinnies" for a psychological trauma dose!
2000AD talking bombs were from ABC warriors "monkey on my back" bombs with the silly grins.
It all cmes down to running around screaming your head off in panic.
"On the bounce!"
