Am I to foreign to see it, or are Dummy units not mentioned in the new rule-set?

Are they perhaps deemed superfluous?

I ask mainly because I like to keep to the rulebook when playing with people that don't belong to my regular group.

They were dropped from the new book, yes.

So no reason why you could not create a house rule to re-instate them, Vulansanex!?

That's right CL :o)

And as "scenario rules" of course!

I like dummy units. I feel the added complexity worth the hidden deployment goodness you get. (And the extra importance it gives your recce units.)

I can see though with the new visibility rules combined with hidden units some people might feel there is to much stuff to think about before the slug out begins..

Still there are many good things that did not make the new rulebook. Maybe a "scenario & campaign rules compendium" will be in order one day?
