Hi!
Darius do you have back issues of Warmaster magazine? I picked up quite
a few and I wondered if you had any so we can fill each others gaps?

Tom,
I like it too. I play it and love it but a 2000 pt
game is all it can really handle. After that it can
bog down. It is one of my favorite GW games next to
Space Marine and of course the improved version Net
Epic. I don't want to change Warmaster but see if we
can come up with a Net Epic version more along the
lines of the Net Epic template and using some of
Warmaster. I really like their CC rules. I see no
reason for fixing Warmaster either.
