Pledge: Tear myself away from the Marvel Universe RPG campaign that I having so much fun writing long enough to get some paint on Phoenix for MCP.

As for the question… I’d like to quote Slartibartfast, “Far rather be happy than right”.

My 7TV casts are designed around which mini looks coolest.

My Dead Man’s Hand ‘Daughters of the West’ are chosen partly for the weapons they hold, but mostly because I like them.

Although I don’t play Warmachine/Hordes anymore, I bought Circle Orboros and Cryx armies because they look cool.

I bought a motorcycle and sidecar for Bolt Action Afrika Korps because I like the mini even though I think it has a life expectancy of one dice roll when it moves into range of an enemy.

So in summary… balanced gameplay is for tournaments and people that want to win.

I play with friends and want to have fun, even when the dice are determined to make sure that my favourite miniature dies in the first round of combat.
