Re: Bill Sykes' Customs
Thanks for taking the criticism in a positive way! Looking better now IMHO (although I still think rolling seperately for each figure on Tidal Wave would be a better balance, but its up to you).

Re: Bill Sykes' Customs
I think he's a bit too much of a "death or glory" hero - that is he can instantly win any game on 2 lucky D20 rolls; if he rolls a 15 before moving, then uses Tidal wave and gets it off (the way you...

Re: The Book of Nakita Agents
well, its not actually illegal, but wouldn't let you roll for smoke powder more than once per incoming attack (though it helps to have "spare" agents if one gets wasted).

Oddly, in the UK S&V seems the easiest set to find (try amazon.co.uk) - it was one of the first extra troop packs I ever got (then I got another to get common squad advantages).
