D*mn straight, man. Of course, if really depends on how much you like
your infantry... I spent a lot of time paiting the Squats I put in for
judging in Games Day '96, and made the first cut as a result... of
course, I haven't done that since (spending about an hour painting two
stands of infantry *really* starts to suck after the first handful) but
we'll have to see....

That can be pretty variable... one game against Chaos, three Brass
Scorpians were "holding" a forest objective, and my Iron-Braker Legion
was charging up to do battle... well, I do have to admit I didn't know
the Scorpians got that many shots, but the Chaos player got very lucky
and wiped out slightly over half of the Legion. Ow! (The Brass
Scorpians advanced to the edge of the forest, and my charge fell short,
FYI... they weren't on FF or anything like that.)
