Should the Khazari and Colonial Union Defence Force lists have the option of an FAO to be able to use orbitals strikes?

Orbital Strikes are called in by an FAO (Page 29)

As well as the Khazari and Colonial Union Defence Force lists, FAOs are also missing from HOF droids, HOF Alien and the FWC Bug Colony

The Andrayadan, Kraytonian, Ogrethulhu and Grey Alien lists don't have FAOs but the commanders can call in artillery / orbital strikes

Therefore

a) add an FAO to the list
b) allow command units to call in orbital strikes
c) you can buy as many orbital strikes as you like but you can't use them

I'd say b as it saves messing around with points.

And have you considered pimping up your orbital strikes with a couple of tech upgrades? Smile

Bug Colony don't get no stinking FAO apparently...

That said the following threads provide unclear ambiguous and yet decisive clarifications. Take your pick.

My last foray had the CO commanding orbital strikes and it counting to my command orders. Gordon was happy enough so it must be ok Wink.

Hmmm OK, thanks chaps. A correction needed for v2 of the rules then.
