Hello Group,
for those who do not know me, I am the poster formerly known as scarecrow.
I was introduced to LoS back when it was brand new by my best friend and fellow player who is known as Grendeljd here. He had also introduced me to Warhammer 40k.
I played 40k and was mildly entertained at the notion of playing out tactical skirmishes, but it seemed a bit wonky to me.
When I started learning LoS it was like a bolt of ightning shot down my spine. I *knew* this stuff. This game was a simplified representation of my own training in the CF. When I read the fluff in the book, including the organization of a Powered Infantry Battalion, I was totally hooked.
Planetstorm arrived as a much sought-after ability to get out of the FIBUA setting and into the open field. I dreamed of the day the Stormfront addition would arrive.
I wrote various 'house rules' which earned the acceptance of our playing group, some of it grudgingly I'll admit, but above all, it was great fun.
I had a dream of contributing additional material, but found out LoS was already dying by that time.
And here we are now. I no longer serve as an infantry sergeant, but that is always where my heart will be.
