The ability to flee would be a potent tool. C:SM makes it possible to run away like sissies thanks to combat tactics.

Stand and shoot would be good too.

They also need to resolve the problems with the close combat system. This "40 attacks go at the one model in your squad in base contact with our squad, and the guy 2" behind him. Take 20 wounds, no armor save, the entire unit dies!" nonsense should never have been introduced (thank 3e children).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228001/530614.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228001/530614.page GMT Fleeing?? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228001/530816.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228001/530816.page GMT Fleeing??

If one of your guys is in base to base then the rest of your squad MUST move up to 6" to come into base to base with the enemy, so the situation you described should rarely arise (also remember that your figures are just representations of what your army is doing. It is unlikely in any melee combat that you wouls just stand there after you killed the first guy you came accross. No, rather you would push forward to kill the rest of them, that is what the rule describes.)

Stand and shoot would seriously bias the game towards shooting armies. It works in WFB because only a few units per army will have ranged weapons. In 40k, where everyone and their mother has a gun, nobody would be able to charge effectively ever. If you wanted to charge some lootas they would get d3 S7 shots at you each before you hit them. If you wanted to charge a squad of 10 fire warriors they would get 20 S5 5 shots.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228001/530867.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228001/530867.page GMT Fleeing?? 40k being seriously biased towards assaulty armies? Sounds like a double standard to me....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228001/530876.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228001/530876.page GMT Re:Fleeing??
To go the otherway, would it be ok if a combat army were to deploy within 6" of you on the first turn? No because any shooting army would lose.

Currently almost every army in the game has either combat units of its own, enough firepower to make serious dents in a CC army before they get there or some means of avoiding combat altogether.

Regardless, a balance should be sought between the two. Giving units charge reactions in 40k swings the pendulum too much the other way.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228001/531006.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228001/531006.page GMT
