You better be able to back up your accusation. I've never said anything here which is contrary to what I believe IN should be which is a fleet which does not have easy access to AC among other things. I don't like hypocrites either. I hate people who make false accusations more though.
Note the term 'to a degree'. You're calling for radical changes to how a list is played that's been in use for the better part of a decade and calling it 'conservative'
From the perspective of a player of this list: that would be like replacing the vanilla Gothic IN list's shields with holofields and calling it 'conservative'. I was not really thrilled with the changes the HA made to the list in ver 1.0 and I'm steadily growing less happy with it as this has gone along.
Bakka has *never* played like a generic IN list and frankly the efforts to make it 'fit in' have destroyed more of the 'feel' then they have preserved. I find it bizarre that a group of people that have never played the list are complaining about 'feel' when not one of them has a damn clue what Bakka's fleetlist 'feels' LIKE because they've
never played it.
That's why what you and a LOT of these other nice people are doing is hypocrisy D'Art. If what *I* had to say about SM and lances has 'no merit' because 'go play space marines yourself and then you can tell us about it' (your own words, IIRC) then then what
possible merit does the view of ANY OF YOU who have never played the Bakka fleetlist have?
I think I agree with the others who've mentioned concerns about lists bleeding together. We already have a list that allows marines and IN together, and AM could already be taken as reserves.
I agree with Sig that FDTs should be kept to the AM list until it can be reviewed and then eliminated altogether.
Wait, you're opposed to lists becoming bled together, and thus, generic, but you support removal of one of the key points that differentiates Bakka from Vanilla IN?
Horizon is Sigs tamer?
For some reason I just pictured Horizon throwing out a pokeball and yelling 'Sigoroth, I choose you! Flame attack, now!'
