I really, really do miss the old style of missions.
Mean, ones now do have special rules and such, but they're invariably something to do with objectives moving and points, you know?
This stuff would never fly now. The Rearguard mission even states that the passive part of the defender's split force isn't used at all.
Imagine! You're playing 40k and a randomly determined portion of your army (probably about half!) is just out of the game! Not used! Pack 'em up!
Thematic? Yes. But nowadays someone would have an aneurism.
I think it's delightful.
