thanks mate!
i'm really starting to think my opponent didn't clearly read their codex now... here's how each battlesuit was set-up;
- plasma rifle
- missile pod
- flamer or fusion gun
- 4+ invulnerable save on each suit
a couple suits had hard-wired drone controlers w/1 shield drone. however, if i'm reading the codex right, he can't have all 4 of those above options can he???
i'll also have to get him to look up about losing drones in the shooting phase as he never tested on any of his monats... (commander farsight of corse being fearless didn't care much!) but it could have made a huge difference if some of those monats failed tests.
and another question just to make sure i'm not missing anything;
what pg# does it state that all suits in an o'shovah list are BS4 instead of BS3??? (that proved seriously annoying as i lost a good number of guardsmen to those 2-shot missile pods - including my rocket armed anti-tank squad!)
thanks again for the help.

i think some revenge is in order now!
cheers!
