Yes, I understand and agree with the intent, if not the execution.
.. Since I cannot read the current wording of the rules due to PDF
issues, could you post the paragraph specifically dealing with how
animosity is currently handled in game?

army doesn't have to worry about it, while a three-Power army needs to
be fairly careful about placing it's forces. The idea was accepted and
polled, but the results weren't very definitive which is why I put the
little "animosity is new and needs to be playtested" note in the Chaos
army book.

don't want to face a skimming, shooty, Close Combat powerhouse
combined army." Fluff and philosophy are cool, but I'm worried about
game balance as well.
