IMHO, it was designed to be, and I like it I'll second that remark! *** Of course I agree completely with you, Schoon; gawd, how I hate a roll to hit, followed by a roll to wound, followed by rolls to save, followed by... However, I thought ME TOO-ism was supposed to be frowned upon. While the DVD discussion went totally OT with esoteric code discussions and national origins, I thought it was once again, in the main, me too comments and lacking much information.

By the way, to end on a me-too note, though it IS on topic, the EW adjusted range bands are certainly intriguing enough to get me to run a couple of dummy playtesting ships; F-T-F play has died down in the neighborhood. Do we want to restrict to whole band adjustments, or shall we allow inches off for more granularity? The_Beast
