Right this is Baz, I might as well start this discussion of the page.

Firstly good idea James, I think we should use this method from now for all multi-national conflicts and that will mean each nation is fairly represented.

Right what I'll do is I'll bring stuff that I think could be changed to your attention with this page first then I'll leave it for you to include the changes. That means you won't to do the mistake again, as opposed to me (or anybody else) changing something without your knowledge and then when you continue the report not relising the changes we have done and for what reason you might do the same mistake twice.

Ok on first glance I can see you have called what appears to be my fighters, corsairs, if that is the case they are actually supposed to be one of my fighters could you call them fighters please.

Also you have said one of the pilots has a claw mutation, I don't mind you mentioning mutations but I don't think that a fighter pilot will have a claw. Also mutations are not very common so don't start saying every Friendly Alien has a mutation of some sort but most are very tall except Trigons.

Finally the commandos will be a combination of Eldars and Super Mutants. Both very distinct forces please can you make sure you don't confuse the two. Super Mutants will not have a leader they go in squads and will all recieve orders via the communicator and complete them together (a tribute to vast experience and group cohesion) and the Eldar squads will be lead by a Doyen.

Apart for that good job so far. Please telegram me or ask me on msn if you have any queries. Also have a through look through my wiki it should have all the info you need.

I have identified a couple of issues that I'm not moaning about, I just will identify them and get back to you when I have time to rewrite them.


There are nine Conciliators, not eleven.


Why would the Aliens land in the hanger bay just to tell the ship commander that 'war is coming'? Why didn't they just radio it in? Also it's pretty insulting to think that ships could get that close without being detected.


Where is this actually taking place, around the moon? Cos in which case I calculated it would take 20hrs for a ship to reach it in the days before Pulse Drives.


'Walschland vessels were known to strafe the area in the hope of detonating heat and optical reactive weaponry, as had been witnessed after the destruction of the Roman weapons frigate Helicon' --- I'm not going to pretend I even know what this means, could someone explain it to me. That said, strafing is the act of moving sideways, when holding a weapon. Walschland's ships wouldn't be strafing an area, they'd probably be (thinks of word) I don't know, skirting? skimming through? And I was under the impression that they were on the ground in Walschland itself, since a forward Keggy 80-K shoots one down when they are lifting off.


Roudland vessels don't have a bridge, they have a CIC, and that has a commander, not a captain.

I'll update all the stuff pertaining to my forces soon.
