Editing Forlorn Hope Team (section)

==In All Quiet on the Martian Front==
Uniquely, Forlorn Hope Teams are never placed on the board unless they are actually assaulting a Tripod. Instead the player marks down which of his Infantry Squads contain the team, and when that squad assaults a Tripod, the Forlorn Hope element is attached to the Tripod and attacks as well. Alternatively, you can also have the Forlorn Hope attack independently if a Tripod comes within 6 inches of its host squad. Once the attack is made the Forlorn Hope are removed from play as they have expended all of their demo charges (or blown themselves up). This does not grant a Kill point to the enemy and the host squad does not have to take a moral check as a result. Essentially the Forlorn Hope Team is a one use extra assault attack with one more power than the a standard infantry assault (+3 compared to the +2).

As far as how destructible they are, if the host squad is wiped out, then any Forlorn Hope elements within are also killed, as giant brass balls do little to protect you from heat rays.

For +15 points per squad, you may upgrade up to half of your Infantry Squads with Forlorn Hope teams.
