Well, if you fire with your SHW in your detachments, then you roll your
FP stuff first, and resolve it with blast markers, then you do your SHW
stuff from the detachment .

Seems fairly logical to me yes?

Dont ask the rool boyz. No offense to them, but they are rarely in the
position of being able to answer a question logically. That facility is
for pubescent 14 year olds who argue and bet on who is right, and who is
not!

We should just mail them as we please really. It is a good way, as we
seem to have the most vocal, and only serious playtesting group beyond
the design studio staff. And yet even though they have played the game,
they have not pointed stuff out that we have blatantly and quickly
pointed out! What were they thinking? No body knows
Wether they like it or not, who knows, and it would be nice to hear some
interaction like some other game systems, I dont see why they can't.
But I suppose it is one of those big brother things. I dont even know
wether they listen anymore!
And goddamn, I certainly hope this stuff we sendem get through to the
Dwarf.


Anyway.........
