Also was wondering when they nerfed the HW infantry by taking away their ability to fire their missles while mounted? In the 1st edition this was not the case. In my opinion this relegates them to all but a defensive roll especially given the time it takes infantry to dismount and get moving on their own, but HW must wait a turn before firing their missle thereby giving the enemy a chance to kill them before they ever fire it, and taking away their suprise first strike. Just see them as being unusable as a strike force unit of any type with these rules restrictions in the 2nd edition. Keep in mind I haven't played non-miniature Ogre since it came out circa 1992, after having played the chit version since it's release, so I have no knowledge of any standard versions besides the first Ogre/GEV/Shockwave stuff.
