I have had the odd game with my son where it is unit v unit. Usually my Dar against his IG. 150 points would give me a Guardian unit with a HW and Warlock. He can field two or 3 IG/AM vets for that. It then becomes a fighting patrol or scouting mission.
The other one I am trying to get him in on is hunt the sniper. One side has a sniper who can't be shot at until he is spotted. But shooting does not reveal him, it is a roll of a dice starting with the need for a 6 to spot him. He is even allowed to move if he is not spotted, but with the normal restrictions.
All our games are on city scape so lots of cover, and movement is always difficult. Also the searching squad has to divide up like a standard army squad. 2 Scouts, Hvy team, command unit and rifle, (Catapult?) squad. This allows splitting of team into sub units while retaining some of the coherency rules.
I know its a little different from the 2000 point games I read a lot on, but it can be fun all the same.
How do you think you would chase the sniper.
