The Commander Series Forum

To capture an objective you need to put a number of infantry units, depending on the size of your battlegroup, and a command unit on or in the objective. But how doest this rule work for a Bug Colony swarm?
The Bug Colony, or any list with the Swarm doctrine, doesn't have command units on table, so putting one on the objective isn't possible.

Do you simply count the objective as captured if you have the required number of infantry on the objective, and ignore the lack of a command unit?
Or is it simply impossible to capture an objective with a swarm? And thus impossible to win certain scenarios?

Not having the book to hand I would suggest that as Bug Colony doesn't have command units common sense says ignore the lack of command unit.

If your opponent disagrees - apply pointy stick rule or just set loads more bugs onto him

Yes, just forget about the command unit.

Ok, thank you for the answer.
