Ah, I see...
It's too bad, since first striking is very important in combat, particularly in multi-rank formations like Phalanges (remember First Strike units in MoM?
).
It's also a shame that Reach does so very little, particularly when you look at how much you have to give up to get it.
But still, I know it now, thanks.
