FOOD AND AMMO????? What place have these on a modern battlefield? Next
you'll be suggesting we put flaps on Space Marine armor so they can use
the bathroom, or (gasp) camoflage.

By the way, I heard a funny joke tonight. A guy at a game store here
told me that he had played all of GW games except EPIC (which he will
never do, thank god), and 40K used fewer "actual" rules than any of the
other games. Sadly, so many comments came to mind that my brain froze
up, completely blowing the chance for some good sarcasm. The really
funny part was that he was hovering over a game that he wasn't even
involved in, dispensening (sometimes incorrect) judgements on the
legality of the two players' moves every other minute.
