I'll Be bringing around 30 guys, some tanky things (If I build 'em in time)
some flittery things and of course space ninjas by the drop-pod loads (suit of
red pjs anyone?). The heavy infantry have just shown up, they look... heavy.

Nup, bring what you like, if it's too big, we'll leave stuff out, if it's
really too big, we'll all play against you.

Blood Chilling Glare (+3 CP)
The blood chilling glare, proudly perfected by Ancient Britsh Armed Forces
(and occasionally used by hollywood vampires) leaves the victim transfixed,
bunny-in-the-spotlight style. Used in close combat against an enemy (UR 2) the
opponent has no counter attacks and the user gets a +2 CC UR for the round
since his opponent is much easier to hit. Used against civilans or lower
ranking troops within 6 studs (2") gives the affected troop a stupendous feat
as they are driven to perform under the fearsome gaze of a commanding officer.
