Also there is the question of armour. The same applies only in spades. Think how silly 40K has become with artillery guns that fire only four times the distance of a thrown grenade.<br />JJohn Lambsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598696442104566164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-54969141663691812112012-10-02T08:32:30.103+01:002012-10-02T08:32:30.103+01:00Dear Phil

I find with 'alternate' histories its always pretty disconcerting how a only a few (seemingly minor) historical changes could completely alter a nation and the world... have you read any of harry turtledoves American empire / worldwar / colonisation books?Meltaburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120664809772067412noreply@blogger.com
