Yes but do the Nema's(copyright pending) have an expendable class or suicide
worm squads. Without such I think earthly domination might be beyond their
reach:)

G'day,

Yep, its their pushy lawn bug caste;)

Ok, ok I'm on it. (anything to get a little peace around here:)

Well, walk or touch water/damp vegetation and zillions of nemas will
bore through your skin, ride your bloodstream to the liver, feed and grow,
back round to your lungs, bore through and crawl up your throat (you can cough
them up at this stage) and back down into the gut to breed and lay eggs.

The suicide squads are worms that bore into the wrong species (worm species
- host species are fairly specific). They get lost (wrong body map) and
become 'larvae migrans'. They bore round the body at random doing horrible
damage causing blindness (dog hookworm in children) or even
swiss-cheesing
the brain. V.nast.

I am not even going to tell you about the ones that infect the testicles

and xause them to sell up so big that you need a wheelbarrow to
walk..........woops, I justy did.

Great I had thought of the Bio-weapon "Internal Egg Layer" but thought
it was more suited to SG than the scale of DS.

Hmmm thinking of units that you can sacrifice to kill another unit now. Sort
of if you don't get shot on route then your unit of suicide bugs costing 10
points takes out its self and an enemy unit costing a lot more. Hmmm.

That's ok John I've probably got a picture of them round here somewhere, More
likely I've got a picture of some poor sod with
swollen undercarridge :/

Obviously East indian Origins for these worms. That would explain the high
populations of Nematodes!
