I would like to say at this point that with out a doubt this is the
ceesiest army I have ever heard of. The names are so appropriate that it
scares me. You actually plan to use this army do you? I am so scared that
somebody in my neck of the woods might pick up on this idea and use it,
that I am going to buy every landraider in Philadephia just so they can't.
