Subject: Another Stargrunt question
I asked this once before, long ago, and no one had an answer for me other than "don't use drop troops". But, seeing as how Jon, the Great and Terrible, is now among us, I thought I would ask again: How far can individual figures move when Reorganizing? I ask because, in one of our first games, a unit in fast, heavy Power Armor was dropped from orbit and ended up scattered widely across the board. All intact, remarkably enough, but none closer than 8 inches to another man. I would assume that the unit would attempt to come together either at the intended drop point or at the unit's officer, but how much movement do they get to regain unit integrity? The book says only that Reorganization allows figures to be moved "short distances", and this does not help much under the circumstances. So what's the deal? I'm thinking of putting together a scenario that would involve several units of drop troops, but I want to know how to work things first.
