Oh this thread is a doosie. E40k is a game where big bugs chomp on
bio-engineering soldiers who still use fireams based on C20th technology.
It bears as much relationship to real warfare as tiddlywinks. I like this
game because it is ridiculous fun.
BUT
You guys are cluttering up this list with a pissing contest about whether
or not a colonel outranks a captain. You could just write directly to each
other. You could look up the info in Janes and just settle the argument.
You could just forget the whole thing and build a chaos or tyrannid army!
But no, you have to bore all of us to death and waste our time.
Aaaaaaaarggggggh!
