[QUOTE="AllisterH, post: 4733554, member: 51325"] Er, there is no such thing as mixed infantry and armour units though.... It WAS tried in WWII but the result was that infrantry was just too fragile that even being in the backwash of a tank was dangerous (if a tank gets hit, the surrounding area is pretty much flattened as well). You basically have to run two separate combat encounters where neither infantry and armour could possibly interact with it. I'm honestly wondering how people did this in RIFTS since RIFTS does have rules for area wide explosions and MDC type characters seem to have loads of area wide effects. As for the rogue restriction, I always though this was bogus, ESPECIALLY given that one of the most iconic campaigns for D&D is filled with undead. The thing about face time is that it implies that each party member will be at times sidelined as another character gets to strut their stuff.... That doesn't exactly hold true for the wizard now though... [/QUOTE]
