Hmmm.. interesting tactic. And you said it actaully worked?

He chose to have "FREE" exarchs. Now this guy is a grade one jerk. Yes it
suggests that you can create your own craftworlds with your own free card,
but...

The Exarchs cost 400 points, the most expensive card at the moment is 150
points. The Exarchs are a special card. I have a freind who had banshees as
his free card, which was fair enough and he always asked if it was OK
beforehand. Exarchs for free, give me a break. This has to be one of the
worst cases of rules abuse I've heard in a while.

>Needless to say, I didn't play much with him after that.

I don't blame you.

BTW a belated Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all on the list.

Oh and for you Americans and Brits freezing your butts off, I sat in a pool
drinking with friends on a lovely balmy night for new years. Just thought
you'd like to know.
