Hi, Flogus and I played a battle of Legion vs. Legion (Titan vs. Steel) about 3 weeks ago.

I don't really have time to translate the battle report I made on epic_fr, but here's a LINK to it. Plenty of pictures for those who don't understand French. And of course, you can always ask here if you want details.

Here's an appetizer.  

Rules:
Epic Armageddon Handbook 2008
Steel Legion: Handbook 2008
AMTL: WarGryphons 3.12

Imperial Guard
Leman Russ Company* + Hydra
Shadowsword Company*
Baneblade Company*
Baneblade Company*
Shadowsword*
Shadowsword*
Basiliks
Thunderbolts
*: Commissars



AMTL
Imperator - Supreme Commander
Warlord - Volcano canon, Triple Turbolaser, 2 Turbolasers, Sacred Icon
Warhound - Vulcan Megabolter, Plasma Blastgun
Warhound - Vulcan Megabolter, Plasma Blastgun
Sentinels
Sentinels

My very basic grasp of the French language is greatly enhanced when it is in writing and I have a dictionary at hand.  

Great models and report! May I suggest you report the result over at alfakta.org? You might win minis free of charge.

If you read this through Google's translation system, it's fairly easy to read, even if your fluency in French is non-existant.

Then I squat ... uh, I squat with my girlfriend. And I make bad puns.

In short, let us return to our sheep.

Yeah, what's not to understand?  

It's worth having so many diverse languages for moments like that.    I know I would fare far worse if I tried to speak French or any other language. No worries.

Very nice report. Great to see an Imperitor being used.

Hehe... interestingly google translates this automatically into swedish in my browser, and its great fun to read.

The Imperators' turbolasers somehow become "2 double beds", blastmarkers become "buttons", at some point a sentinel shoots at "indicator animals", "orders" are translated literaly as in the kind you make at a restaurant  , void shields become "cd-records"  , when the baneblade approches the warhound in its position in the forest, it is "he contacted him in his office (office like a major of a town is an office) through the woods"   These are just a few out of a huge number of bizarre misinterpretations! And thats in a single page...

...in short it proves that automatic translators simply dont work for languages as far apart as swedish and french. I cant even find one single sentence that makes any sort of sense. I suspect the verbs are the issue, probably very difficult to get a program to do that...

BTW: thanks for the battlereport, and very good job on those minis!
