Ah, Alan that reminds me. In your "flavour" rules for Orks (of which
E41K is based in the main) did you mean for Bad Moons to be all Nobz and
Shooty boys? I noticed that when I was looking over the stuff earlier
this week and thought I had a transcription error, so I went and checked
your original work, and it's there also.

You know you could do the early parts of the Sinai battles of the '73
Arab / Israeli war that way. Both sides as IG, one all tanks (the
Israeli side), one with TONS of support weapons (The Arab player). The
Arab gets a ton of flak and the Israeli player gets 10 or so fighter
bombers.

Point of order: In E30K they are not CSM they are Traitor Marines.
They turn into CSM after they lose and flee into the eye of terror.
