Ok, so you already knew that. How effective do you expect a Oijia board to be?!? ---- Cell Phone with Psychic Hotline Speed Dialing ..... 25 points The Cell Phone can be used once per game. The model using the phone may not move. Roll 1D6: 1 - "You are going to come into some money very soon..." The model must spend the next turn daydreaming about what he will do with the money. He may not move and fights with a WS of 0. 2-3 - "Someone very close to you will betray you..." The model must immediaty break squad coherency and move its full movement. The rest of the squad will follow the model to reafirm their loyalty. 4-5 - "You are in great danger..." The model goes into a paranoid delusion (well, he's on a battle field, so it's not REALLY a delusion :-) and doubles all stats because if the adrenaline rush. In addition, the model is subject to the rules for frenzy. 6 - "I see you becoming a great leader..." The model is convinced that he is Patton reincarnated. Somehow, he succeeed in convincing the rest of the squad of this, too. The entire squad is subject to the rules for frenzy. All wargear is marked, "Elroy Ultran" Same old story Tom... You never finish what you start ;-) Mike Adeptus Administratum ------------------- Michael Brockwell vds@airmail.net
