The biggest attraction to GW products is the same attraction D&D has: 
almost any gamer has experience with it, and it's easy to find an 
opponent.

I'll have to see how they fit on GW-style bases. If I'm sufficiently 
motivated, I should use my Dixie Rails squad as a really bizarre Space 
Marine force in a non-GW sanctioned tourney at the end of the month.

Soldiers = Space Marines
Sharpshooters = Terminator
I think there's a Steam Wagon I can use as a razorback...


Hmmm.... Since I'm known at my Local Game Store for being 'The Deadlands 
Guy' it'd all be very fitting. I may have to make an emergency 
purchasing trip to fill out the ranks though...

No big deal... it's just different enough from the internet standard 
(indenting with '>' characters) to be noticed.

Will try, especially as I've now decided to contemplate something rather 
ludicrous.
