Great idea. <br />I was worried that they might run out of numbers if they retired too many, so I ended up thinking how long would a chapter master live for? Perhaps 200 years? So that's 5 numbers retired every millenia. I think they can live like that for a long time yet (before they come to their own version of the Y2K bug!).jabberjabberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15314798958920326898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786286407816218061.post-47626098154598196512009-05-21T02:34:58.876-04:002009-05-21T02:34:58.876-04:00Thats really quite a cool and unique fluff for a m...Thats really quite a cool and unique fluff for a marine unit.

As you deploy them, roll a D3, and that tells you what kind of squad they are (tactical, assault, or devastator). Getting a list entry for that would be a painAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687550434283739337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786286407816218061.post-69044076368254605882009-05-20T21:06:17.253-04:002009-05-20T21:06:17.253-04:00I got a question: Are you going to play it fluffy...I got a question: Are you going to play it fluffy and randomly roll for each squad's equipment layout before each game? :D<br /><br />It's a neat idea, and unique, so I like it.
