*laugh* I'm sorry - that arguement just seems a bit odd, since in your
previous post you suggest renaming both bolters and twin-linked lascannons as:

>rename it "Infantry weapons" or similar.

>Rename the landraiders guns "Linked lascannon"


I also object to the WWI German infantry - they weren't nice people then,
either. NetEpic is based off 40K but I do not feel we should feel bound by
what appears there. Unless I'm fielding a Star Wars Imperial army, I don't
want troops that remind me of Nazi Germany. Perhaps I'm making too much of
a small thing here, but I feel rather strongly about it.
