Unit
The whipping boys of the Dr Who universe, on the whole equipped with inferior weapons and tending to die like flies. Their heavy weapons do however pack quite a punch, and if used correctly can be decisive. Riflemen can also cause some damage when teamed with the Brigadier to increase their to hit value.
The Brigadier
With his +1 effect on all Unit troops within 10" very useful figure.
Captain Yates and Sergeant Benton
The guys who seem to do all the work, but none of the dying. Yates is good with his +1 effect on all Unit troops within 5", but Benton is a bit overpriced pointswise, so I gave him a special ability, see the rules mods section.
Corporals Smith and Jones
I invented these two guys to give a little more flavour to the game. Rules for them can be found in the Rules Mods area. One of them has a 2" Mortar and SMG, and the other a sniper rifle. The 2" is basically a Grenade figure with longer range, whilst the sniper rifle is a slightly improved SLR trooper. The two figures come from Mo-Fo's range of Falklands War figures, available via Gripping Beast.
Riflemen
The meat and veg of Unit, only marginally effective. But can be quite tasty if they are used en-mass within command range of the Brigadier. The figures on the left are from Blacktree, those on the right are from the Mo-Fo Falklands War range.
Submachine Gunners
Very much like the Riflemen, but with less range. They can do 2 points of damage at close range, however at that sort of range it is often better to throw them into close assault. At least they're cheap points wise.
Grenadiers
Basically your regular Spam with a grenade in his hand. Come in two flavours, Rifle and SMG. The grenades are only marginally effective, and they tend to die before they can throw more than one. So at 3 points they are a little expensive.
