hi donovan -
i think the anti-personnel-weapon-rule makes a lot of sense to me (i
am also a former 2nd ed. player using netepic for one year now). its a
logical further development of the rules.
what i do not like are the ideas to double the titans caf - that would
make them too strong in my opinion, even if they are the ultimate warmachines of the
40.000 universe.
i would vote against this rule-change.
