---------> Well, I didn't post it originally - I was just
"counterpointing". Sure , post that IG army. If we have 2 defined
forces, we can actually try them out, evaluate for cheese, etc. I think
we get a lot more concrete conversation when we are talking about "Ork
force X vs IG army Y" then just race vs race in general.
