True but for example a BG of 6 LF shooting at maximum range can't make you test. Nor can a BG of 4 LH. You'll be surprised at how often opposing BGs don't shoot because they can't inflict enough hits.MikeK wrote:More precisely, it takes more hits to force a test, but there are trade-offs. Bigger BGs benefit less from the +2 to death rolls and tend to have longer exposed frontages taking shooting which means more incoming dice.jlopez wrote:Other groups benefit from being in 8s for the same reason as the MF, it makes it harder for the enemy to cause cohesion tests.
E.g., two 4s taking 2 dice of shooting each vs. an 8 taking 4 dice of shooting.
