I just printed out the rules and hope to test 'em out soon. Figured I'd just post a 'hello' message - it's good to see some familiar names here, too :) I do...
Hello there Geo My experience with Slammer has shown in general that can be true. A platoon of green, poorly lead conscripts will generally disintergrate and...
