Hi!
No need top make the discussion off list, I'd like to hear what your
thinking and what is perceived as the problem. While some aspects may not
change if sufficient feedback comes in there is always something to be
found.
My next trip to NJ to play with Darius and company will test the slann
against chaos and tyranids, perhaps SM if time allows. I'll post the results
when they occur.
