"vampire restriction"=?


To flesh out the "Strategic Move" concept a bit more:

I was thinking of something along the lines of infantry can "jump high", 
which gives them 5 hex/turn movement (flying), they can't fire during 
their attack phase.  The turn after "jump high", all enemies can get LoS 
to the infantry, the infantry get no defense bonii for 
terrain/revetments, and units/shockwaves may target them with +4 hexes 
range.

Heavy Weapons Infantry which choose to "jump high" have to leave their 
guns behind, because they're, y'know, Heavy.

Note that although "jump high" guys have no ranged attack, overrun 
remains, allowing frustrated infantry platoons to mob persnickety GEVs 
and missile tanks, at the cost of being hyper-vulnerable the next turn.

In miniatures, use a D6 under an infantry base to encode the fact that 
it has "jumped high".
