Does Shanda the Panda count?

I don't understand the question.

What exactly are you asking?

I don't understand this.

Referring to the historical question are you "true" to a particular faction like some people are to historical miniature armies are you loyal to a particular SF faction?

To quote flashman 14's poll suggestion –

I'm wondering if you find your loyalty changes if your historical opponent does.

Example: I'm all in for Bonaparte when fighting the Russians or Austrians, but when I'm playing in the Peninsula, the only good crapaud is a dead one.

WE2: I'm for Germany against the stinking commie Bolsheviks, but when the Brits or Yanks are involved, there's no greater evil than the fascist Nazis.

Do you consistently maintain your allegiances?

Sumerandakkad,

If you see it as SF, then yes.

In the broad categories you need to add "robots/cyborgs/articial creatures-intelligence"

Fredrick, I will count you as a "G" currently but point noted.

Mute Bystander04 Apr 2016 7:26 a.m. PST

OH, FTR, I prefer A, in all its diversity. Loved the FGU Space Marines rules approach.
