Just got done with an epic 4 vs 4 battle. Figure I would share the results up here for those interested

The Rules:
List Building and Event rules

Spoiler:

General Special Rules:

Spoiler:

……….Coordinated Force: Each player of a team activates a model at the same time as if they were part of a coordinated order. However, these models suffer no penalties or restrictions associated with coordinated order. However, only one member of the team may perform a real coordinated order at a time.
……….Strategos: Strategos will only effect the controlling player's force and one enemy player of the controlling player's choice.
……….Retreat!: Retreat is calculated on a Team Basis.
……….Morats: The Morat special rule will only effect the retreat threshold of the CA combat group it is taken with.
……….Impersonators: Impersonators may mimic one player's force at a time. All other player's forces (even if it is the same army type) will consider the impersonator to be 1 state worse than what it currently is. (IE Imp1 will be Imp1 to the chosen player and Imp2 to all other players)
……….Defensive Hacking: Only the player being targeted by a hack attack or guided ammunition may attempt to defensively hack with their hackers. If the targeted player has no hackers he may nominate a single teammate's hacker to defensively hack for him.
……….Inspiring Leadership: This trait will only effect the owning player's models and not the whole team.
……….Separate Comms: Teammates are considered friendly forces, however each have their own communications lines. This means that players may not use each other’s repeaters, forward observer markings, or other similar mechanics.
……….Emergency Comms: Even though all teammates operate on different comms channels, they do have the ability to communicate between each other. All friendly players can change facing if a player preforms an the alert skill. Additional all friendly models may change facing under the friendly model hit within' 8" rule.
……….Air-tight rooms: Buildings that have all their doors shut will not be able to have guided ammo fired into or out of the building until a door is opened.
……….Distracted Impetuous: Impetuous models are too pissed off to care about objects. As such an Impetuous model cannot Capture Nodes, but may Deny Nodes as per the rule below. Impetuous orders must be performed before any team regular or regular orders are spent.

Node Special Rules: 10 ARM | 3 STR | -9 BTS

Red Team

Blue Team

Epic moments:
- Yuan Yuan jumps onto the board and intuitive attacks two markers nearby each other thinking it was a minelayer and mine... turns out it was 2 zeros PLUS there was a TO Camo hidden there too... all three dead. score.
- 2 fidays taking on a speculo and a Skiavoro... end is a fiday with a monofiliment and another fiday with a plasma rifle.
- Spekter hacker turns a Custodier's brain into a fried egg then a Interventor quickly returns the favor.
- A clever zero minelays a mine on a nearby building during deployment... which everyone though was a sniper
- Naffatun heavy flamers a spekter and a anathematic burning off the camo, but failing to wound
- Anathematic sepsitors a hafza then shuts down a link team of janissaries with a single plasma E/M blast
- Achilles gets 3 way gang banged after a Ghulam immobilizes him
- Another clever little zero uses mines to kill a highlander link team then suicide dashes at Wallace... who cut his head off... and realizes he just turned his whole force Impetuous

End game result: RED TEAM WINS! 10 to 6

Nodes put up on the building to show who claimed

**Pointblank**

Cool! kinda looks like the terrain I made...series of rooms for that close quarter combat experience.

Of course your rooms have more variety and are larger.

**Ian Sturrock**

Very nice.

I love the unpainted models special rule!

Do you find you miss having roofs, given that no-one can climb atop a building to get wide field of fire? Or do you reckon the added convenience (don't have to lift the "lid" of the roof off to get to the inside) makes it worthwhile?

**BlueDagger**

Haha yeah there is rooftops for them all, we just keep them off unless tey are needed. The only ones really getting on the rooftops were snipers and other long range weapons. Every order you can scrounge up was focus on helping teammates and capturing/ defending points. Spending 2+ orders to get on a rooftop position wasn't a luxury we had lol.

How long did this game last ? =P

**BlueDagger**

4.5 hours from start to finish 5 turns. All in all not bad for 1000pts per side.
