Fair enough.

I guess I'm a little wary of mucking about with the units. I guess for ease of play and universability as much as anything.

Cheers. Chris.


The principle is sound, yes, but the trouble is that the weapons
*aren't* that similar. Consider, for example, the difference between
the arty pieces (mole mortar & thudd gun) and the direct fire ones
(tarantula, rapier). GW did correct this in CJ, but they did
oversimplify them into an anti-tank shot. And even within the arty/non-
breakdown, there are differences... not much between the rapier &
tarantula (though they're supposed to be anti-infantry & anti-tank,
respectively, IIRC) but the range difference between mole mortars &
thudd guns is too great -- not to mention, too tactically important --
to ignore.
