Yet another change - CanCon rules are no more than 18 order dice

 ...And there's another rule I need to take into account. Cancon runs their Bolt Action tournaments and narratives (which sound awesome to play) with a max of 18 order dice. Meaning my 19 order dice army list will not work!

The easiest way to do it is to remove the 2nd light mortar.  Or the stretcher bearers. And I like the stretcher bearers.

So back to no platoon runners. The truck DOES get upgraded to a 3-ton truck which means I can move a full squad AND the platoon commander forward from the engineer platoon. But it's now inexperienced but the commander would be in it to get it on the table if needed.

The AT Rifle team and Light Mortar are still inexperienced but the Matty II is now regular. I'd rather have the tank on the field than the AT rifle and mortar that can't lay smoke :(

The AT team can also stay in the carrier and man the pintle mounted Bren LMG. 

And just to complicate things, every Bolt Action Tournament in Australia has different points values between 1000, 1100 or 1250! So who knows what size the army would actually need to be! If I have to drop to 1000 I'd probably drop the sniper, stretcher bearers and the light mortar squad.  If it's 1250 I might get a second Matilda II and use them as a pair at all times.

Total Points: 1100
