Hi!
Glad you liked my battlereport, and I apreciate the feedback given us.
First of all, to say my SM force was cheesy was bad wording from my
part. What I meant was that this army was the one with the best
chance of beating slann in my gaming group If this army could not
beat slann, no other army in my group would either.
This is what it is all about for my part, is it possible for any army
in my gaming group to beat slann? I think not. As it turned out, I
won, but only because of Runes mistake. If we play this game once
more I will loose.
Im not out to force any changes upon the rest of you, but to get a
most possible ballanced Slann army for my gaming group. If the slann
army works for you, it fine, but it dos not quite work for us yet.
If the slann forces works fine for the rest of you it is time for us
to take the discussion out of the netepic group and do it in private
until we get rules that works in our group. Then we can let you all
know how we are doing.
