Questions
It seems that 4 special weapon HQ units are popular features in mechanized infantry lists, I assume to act as limited counter-assault units and the like. But Rough Riders can do that just as well (better even?) for roughly the same points cost, and the added bonus of not having to sacrifice the HQ units themselves... or is their something that I'm missing? I guess I could fit the plasma guns back into the HQ units if I went for 2 basic MBTs instead of the Demolishers...
