Banshee Masks

[Simon]

So what rule are we using for these now?

I was under the impression up until last weekend that we took the 2nd Edition rule straight over (defender rolls no attack dice), but Mike thought it might be worth having the WS of the defender reduced to 0. I'm a little concerned that this doesn't balance properly, I can see the logic of a reduced WS for the defender (at a push) but not to 0 as the banshees are already getting a free round of combat (or 2 rounds against normal initiative opponents)

We did it that the defender is unable to attack in the round he is charged, and no one in the squad can fire on overwatch. Reducing the opponent's WS to zero is the equivalent of giving the banshees automatic hits. In the original rules, the opponent can still defend himself, just not well. I favor the "defender rolls no attack dice" option, but I don't play in the OGC, so what I think really doesn't matter too much.

Some of the stuff you have put up here have changed our minds on things, your opinion is as important as anyone else's here!

I'm blushing. No, really!

What I meant was, since I don't play with you guys, it's more important what you guys want to do than what I would do. Anyway.

Thanks!
