I wonder how many others mix RPGs with wargames. I started with D&D
when it was still in small separate booklets and have been role-playing
ever since. I find I _have_ to role-play my armies when I play them,
even if it is sometimes bad tactics (i.e. with Orks) just because it
gets me into the game a lot more. Great scenarios combined with
flavorful armies leads to unforgettable battles.

I would jump at the chance to play in a fully fleshed out storyline
campaign. I looked at your web page and though I unfortunately don't
speak French I certainly got the gist of it and it looked very
engaging.

I would be honored if you would translate my rules. Heck, how many
authors get their works translated? <g> By all means, go ahead!
