Hiya Old Man!

There have been rumblings in our gaming group as to whether we shall take on this new AI game or not. I have heard that it is a superb game (both from your own musings on SWC and also from some folks on ATT), but I think it is the sort of thing which needs to have a group who are a) willing to try it and b) willing to be dedicated enough to continue to play it. Otherwise it might go the way of BFG which seems to be played very rarely where I come from.

The big problem with the GW stores too is that apparently they are only allowed to play the games for which they stock the miniatures (or so I was told anyway). Since Necromundan, BFG, Mordheimian and other models are not on sale, this kind of curtails the number of Specialist Games played in-store.

One thing about the AI models though - they could be used for Flyers in the Apocalypse games! The idea would be of course that they are "supposed to be" flying really high, hence their apparent size! Imagine the cost difference too of fielding a squadron of Barracudas AI size compared to the 40k size....much more affordable.

Oh, and HG: - when did "CAMFORAI" become "CAMOFORAI"??
