Version 1.0 Unit Stats The following pages include unit stats which were based on or inspired by: • Games Workshop rules for Space Crusade and Warhammer 40,000 • Codex Space Crusade by Usagi3 (Translated from French to English) • MortiS-the-Lost and others on The Lost and The Damned Forum • Merkur-Spiele at star-quest.de • Imperium Battles by General Freyberg's Battle Group • Personal whim After a quarter century of occasional consideration to gameplay and being exposed to bits and pieces of random information, the author of this document has been exposed to a considerable amount of random information pertaining to game play related to Warhammer 40,000, Space Crusade and similar games. This accumulation of information has likely influenced the following unit stats. If this information was sourced, inspired by or just very similar to yours, I apologize for not crediting you. These unit stats should be considered guidelines and were intended for a very simple rule set designed for easy play. It would be very easy to make any number of arguments regarding these stats. If you really don’t like something, feel free to change what you don’t like for your own personal use. If you feel strongly that a rule is flawed, please let me know.
