supposed to be composed of only 3 troopers; 2 armed with Rapid-Fire Laser rifles and 1 armed with an Inferno Grenade Launcher?
The Interplanetary Special Services in earlier iterations of 5150: Star Army had more of a "BadA$$" unit vibe about them, than they do now; an earlier version ISS company (10 figures) could stand toe-to-toe with a bug horde, now they're like using a non-elite Star Army unit to go against bugs - getting totally wiped out.

LOL. Oh ye of little faith. Let me see. Haven't read the tables now have you?  Six guy squads. Shooting 3d6 to hit instead of 2d6. Every 1/3 soldier has an Inferno grenade launcher 5" blast circle. +2 for damage, Bugs dead on a 2 or higher. Melee - ISS rolls 3d6, Bugs roll 2d6. Check the BTA modifier. Will to Fight Unless pass 0d6 and half less than half-strength, they don't leave. Not to mention the BTA benefits. Don't let the A-3 fool you, it was a trick to fool the Bugs! |
