Referee Wolf says: No flaming. No reverse flaming. No unjust criticism.
Thane may have problems with E40K, but he still plays it (though I haven't
played him in a while). I personally feel that E40K is a great system, but
it is far from perfect. Speaking of the great E40K & SM/TL debate, Thane
did you say that you had the rules for these systems? If so I'd like to
borrow them if I may.
