Hi guys

This is nice and simple, but like the other ideas it still creates an
effectiveness gap between anti tank and infantry weapons. It makes anti-tank
weapons too much better than no save mod weapons, point for point. And it
still doesn't address how easily anti-tank weapons take out squads.

No, if we do use Peter's idea, I think that anything with a save modifier
should kill infantry. After all, devastators use a mix of lascannons,
autocannons, heavy bolters, heavy plasma guns and missile launchers, none of
which would allow most troops a save in W40K.

Hey WeaselFierce, did you have a question on that vote sheet for the
hard/soft attack system? If so how many votes did it get?

And Peter, did you get that huge list of errors and suggestions I sent you a
few weeks back?

Anyways, catch you guys later.

Dan
