WELL, it is a relief to discover that SG II and FMA will not become as
restrictive as "official" 40K has become.
ME? and MY friends? Lord OERJAN, you will not find us playing 40K with
those BS artifical tournement scenarios. i , for one, cannot figure
out how anyone could become locked into the same games over and over
and over again. . . .
the naming of names for soldiers, ships, fighters, tanks, guns, is
soooo commo among the older sci-fi gamers in the SFW area, and the
younger gamers who interact with them (hell we raised two distinct age
groups of gamers down there!).
this is also common among 15mm, 20mm, 25mm gamers into WW I, WW II,
Korean War, RVN War, Colonial Warfare, Wild West Skirmishes, Pony Wars,
Gladiatorial Combat, chariot racing, so called ancients, medievals,
rennaissance , horse -and -musket periods, etc.
those little lead, pewter or plastic guys and gals make life even more
interesting when they get names, personalities and develope "personnel
jackets".
when TROOPER SCHNOOP of the DLI (Dunroamin Light Infantry Regiment)
survives thirteen hits, and single-handly stops an enemy attack, well,
it is fun to see if he gets a Solar Corona!
when PVT HIGGINBOTHAM of the QUEEN'S OWN LOYAL ROYAL BOG -HOPPIN FOOT
survives multiple wounds and fight after fight, FOR YEARS, against the
evil SURAT KHAN, and then is there as SGT HIGGINBOTHAM when the KHAN is
killed, it is the stuff of legends.
or most recently, when OBERSOLDAT HARTWIG of the battered 1944 HEER
puts paid too to not 1 but 3 Shermans attacking his platoon, a new
legend is born!
y'all are not personalizing and tracking your toys in games are
missing out on something-y'all really are!
ALL of my skirmish game toys are named. well are iindividuals ( i
have not named my Tyranids and genestealers). HELL, i have 200 40K
orks, each with an oky name!
