[experiment 626]

okay, here's my take on a very competitive tournament style list which still follows the 'pure' drop guard theme. yes there's alot of min/maxing and such which i inwardly despise, but then again, everyone else had likely done the same at a tournament!

so, units with heavy weapons will start on-table and clear an LZ and/or bog the enemy down into a firefight which is the guard's strength.
everything else drops in! improved coms are the key to the list's success as everything has to come in at the same time... the mass drop will try to isolate 1 part of the enemy army for the most part. having 50 or so guardsman drop on top of 2 enemy squads is good fun!
