Deployment for those who do not know

Just FYI, I do not think a lot of people realize this.

While playing the campaign (I actually love the skirmishes and leveling my units) if you enter a Skirmish and you do not like the units you are given, you can back out of the skirmish and restart it and you will get another selection. So you can go from 10 bloodclaws and 2 bolters, to a Titan, Predator, Landraider, Rhino's, etc. etc.

(I am not sure whether in game (single player) if the str of your units in Skirmish is tied to the AI's. it seems to be, but I have more fun with the elite units)

As a side not for the Devs.

I would love to play more skirmishes to level up my units.

Also when I got to the last Mission (Story mission of the 2nd campaign) I had very few of my actual leveled units, especially my melee terminators.

But yea, the option to replay a skirmish to level up would be great (even if you waited till games end for balance reasons)

Yeah... my assumption is that the maps are generated every time you enter a skirmish in case you run into a map that's just awful. Pool changes as well... probably by design. Sure, you can kinda game the system, but it prevents an obstructed or impossible map scenario, etc..

And you should not have to 'game' the system to be able to choose a better list. Hopefully the Dev's will allow the full inventory to be available for skirmish battles, plus upgrades such as wargear and warlord traits, etc. I would also like a deployment zone in every skirmish battle.
