 Warzone Troop Type - 2nd Young Guards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Members of the Young Guard are specialists in urban combat, defending not only Imperial's "homeworld" of Victoria, but its holdings on the other planets of the solar system as well.
Young Guard Captains are individuals, and may be armed with any weapon from the General Armory or Imperial weapons lists.
Considering that the Young Guardsmen certainly have their weaknesses (high expense, low close-combat potential) and that they did take quite a pounding in our play-tests, I think they have shown themselves to be a reasonably balanced group that would (of course) work better in some terrain and scenarios than in others.

 Venn Diagrams
We draw a Venn diagram and label one of the circles S and another P. Then we shade the part of the circle labeled S that is outside the circle labeled P. Sometimes, though, the subject of the English sentence is not represented by an entire circle.
We find out that English sentences using the quantifiers `all', `no', and `only' are true by noticing which regions of the diagram are shaded, and we find out that sentences using names or the quantifiers `some' and `not all' are true by noticing where constants and variables are located in the diagram.
Notice that we can use a Venn diagram either to test whether an argument is reliable or to extract new information from the information we already have.
