What's a WAG?

I seem to recall that Rough Rider company was mentioned in the past as too cheap. The problem is that to get somewhat reliable info every single unit should be checked with the cost formula. Any volunteers?

Yep, these were changed in the distant past as well as some unit stats. Even the "old" units in Net Epic are not necessarily like their SM counterparts.

The problem is that I'm not a mathematician and hence lack the expertise and skills required for mathematical analysis. I think most of the listmembers have this little inconvenience in the way :)

Sure, and if I can help in any non-mathematical way just drop me a line.

The Eldar one should be pretty obvious by now ;) Farseer L. Canapicchi. I have no idea who's bossing the current WAAAGH! around.
