I'm fully in support of them getting the boot for non-narrative games. Ditto with the Lords of War. But, I'm in the minority here. I just get me knickers in a twist over the idea that in every corner of the galaxy, Special Character X decides to stroll down to some patrol or two-three squad game, show up, and go, "Hai guys!"

They should be saved for epic, 3000+ games.

Why? Who says those two or three squads aren't that special character's private retinue? Do you think military leaders of that calibre travel alone when they aren't engaged in some enormous battle? Who's to say that they aren't on their way to some 20,000 point mega battle, and were ambushed by a small force hoping to take out the enemy commander before they could take the field?

People always forget this is a game meant to be in a larger scale war, it has narrative, it had many aspects to it.
