Keep the current system. While we may want to make more individual
characters, like Phoenix Lords or Bjorn the Fell-Handed, the current
system is great. It limits cheese by requiring purchase of basic
troops (in the form of a company) before more specialized units (with a
higher cheese factor) can be added. Also, it forces the player to
follow the "historical" structure of the army. This is one of the
abuses that bothers me about WH40K. I will confess; both in 40K and in
EPIC, I am a Space Wolf player. (As if you couldn't figure that out
from my nom de guerre. :) ) However, an army composed completely of
Terminators, which can be done in 40K, is unrealistic. The army card
system puts a stop to such silliness.

In light of recent posts we may wish to clarify the precise limitations
(or lack thereof) of these orders. (Not trying to poke fun, Brett)
However, with that caveat, the current system works very well.
