the problem mentioned previously. OK, now GD are easier to bring
down, but the problem wasn't mixing GD, the problem was the
possibility to field a really good choice of troops. This way we
don't limit at all this advantatge. It's the same as ballancing SM
for excessive deployment speed, reducing the number of void shields
on titans.

3000 - 5000 point game, the number of detachments of a Chaos army is
not SO large (and still they must be close to check animosity), the
time loss is not significant. Ork armies also have to check wether
Nobz are in distance, Tyranids have to check hive mind radius and IG
also do for command radius. Has anyone even whispered about modifying
this rules to speed up the game? Is it so stressful to measure 30cm
and then roll a die before activating a detachment? I don't think so.
It's just a matter of playtesting.

I agree for all!
IMHO there is not reason for reduce chaos card because there is
animosity. There is less power in the warp when a Daemon hate other
daemon ?.
And if you must check 30 cm or not depends by the number
of "different god" units you have used.
Imho is simply and is a good idea for animosity, any ideas ?
