Okay Okay I didn�t mean for it to come out as harsh as it sounded�I just
wanted to voice my opinion of Games Day too as there didn�t seem to be
another sided presented at the time�.as time has passed there has been
some from both sides now��I always want to help set the record straight
when I can and I had a chance in this case�.Yea I thought some of the
scenarios were outta balance too�.some of us outriders voiced their
concern to the powers that be and maybe next year this may be fixed but
don�t hold your breath�what happens is the staff is allowed to paint the
figures used at games day and then get to either keep them our get store
credit�.not much attention is paid to balance�.next year the outriders
hope to be able to get the same deal and I think the scenarios will be
balanced�.listen I didn�t like walking into the way it was set up but I
made do the best I could�we also pulled some of the figures off the
table to balance it a bit and at the end of the day the eldar had won
half and the guard had won half�..I as an outrider am not paid by GW but
am compensated with miniatures�.I am an outrider because I like some of
the systems GW makes and I like teaching (that is my job in the Armed
Forces) new people how to play GW games , the extra figures I get are
just a side benefit, ask any military person if they are in it for the
money and just wait for the strange looks you will get�.I don�t
necessarily agree with some of the practices that GW does but I do like
their miniatures��If you didn�t like something at Games Day just email
your suggestions to their hobby promotions area�They are getting better
at listening to us all out here as we are their customers and pay their
salaries�you can ask me anything and I will try to answer to the best of
my abilities and promise it won�t be edged with a GW spin�I am just like
you, playing a game for fun and relaxation, meeting new people, swapping
stories and sometimes a few miniatures�.I hope this sets the record
straight and look forward to some more GREAT stuff of this mailing
list�.By the way I think it is funny too about the Golden Demon Sword
!��.You are definitely right that this typing long lines hurts !!

Your fellow gamer,

Jon W. Russell
