Re: [SG] comparing SG

I agree, and you will note they are the one stand-alone race that GW cut
and never brought back.  :-)

Umm, the Squats were generally good. They mostly wanted to be left to
mine their ores and build their technology. They eeked out a living

benign to me. They even pretty much got along with the Imperium (for
the most part)....
