What the Battlefield Ninja really are
Read that? OK. So they're, effectively, tactical battlefield assassins; they assassinate entire enemy units. This might not be quite what the realism enthusiasts might have hoped for, but I think this is the best possible way to represent the Ninja on the STW battlefield without bending the rules too much. If the Ninja have only 1/3rd of the men regular units on the field have (screenshot suggests 40 Ninja when using 120 man units), the prospect of Ninja-rushing seems to be pretty much offset, too. Comments? Anything?
