Well, Tom the French have not sent troops to Iraq and probably won't, however they are doing a good job with us (UK, US, etc.) in Afghanistan. And historically the French Army after WWII fought very well in Indo-China, Korea, Northwest Africa etc. I can't fault their Troops. And who doesn't like French girls !  As for Iraqi oil, the French, Germans, Russians and others were making out on that deal ... Between Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and others in that region, that's about 1/4 of the worlds oil supply. I say find alternate power sources and let them all gag on the oil ...

Sadly there's just too many with econommical interests in maintining status quo for anyone to do serious investment in alternative power sources 
BTW got to agree with you on the French girls L4  yumyum!

I have to strongly agree with you on both points, W/N ! Especially the latter ... "Oui, oui !"

I actually wasn't worried aboput THAT. Our politicians nowadays are so spineless nobody would bother punching them; they'd just bend like a rubber doll and then spring up again instead of falling...

I dunno, I think there's actually two reasons to go into politics: power and idealism. I can name 2 or 3 US politicians that are out to change things instead of get rich and powerful.
Come to think of it though, 2 or 3 out of the hundreds you guys have is a piss-poor effort.

Hello,
Whilst reviewing numerous on line army lists and complining thousands of varients for Imperial, Orc and Marine armys ...
What do people think about combining both infantry and armour ?
IE Infantry formation ( I.G. ) with 2 supporting tank formations.
Just thought Id ask.

fair enough to say that combined arms is the way forward, it undoubtably is, but in a game system like this the exact way of utilising combined arms within the framework of the rules is what should be questioned. I would personaly tend to keep to more or less vehicle only and more or less infantry only formations for the reason that formations can't split fire so will be either wasting at or ap fire. On the otherhand i think the skill comes in using formations of infantry and vehicles together in support of each other to cover each others weaknesses.
