Morten, "Create Copies from Polygon Mesh" behaves similarly actually, allowing me to use a particle emission to control travel. It gets fairly close to what I want, but I can't seem to control the emission behavior the way I want it. Been so long since I've used ICE particles.
I'd have tried doing this in Houdini except I need a quick turn around and I'm not up to speed on Houdini yet.
