Hi!

Agreed, I dont want you redoing anyting major at this point either... ;-)

Look since the only real objection here is Orks allying with Eldar, then
just drop that one and keep all else as is. I mean its kinda silly to do
a sweeping change just for ONE thing most seem to not like.

Just drop the orks from the eldar's ally list. Its the easy thing to do.

Anyone disagree with this?

Peter

The only limitation would be personal responsibility. This is bogus, as IMHO gamers just aren't like that and need rules. I don't want to complicate things and am inclined to lean towards going with the major fluff storylines (Ork vs Dwarf, Marines & Elves vs Chaos) and leave it at that.
