Fair enough. However since the Mordheim rules are the sloppiest, most
ill written and ambiguous of rules sets since the first edition of
Epic, around here we tend to ignore anything and everything from Tuomas
until confirmed in the rules of an earlier game system written by
someone other than he.

Not necessarily, since you don't actually have to take the free dagger
just because it's free, it's optional.

regardless, like I mentioned in an earlier post, the mordheim rules are
at best the most abiguous set of rules from GW ever so you are required
to play by your house rules most of the time anyway. And since Colen
mentioned the free dagger doesn't actually count as a weapon I will go
with that optional rule.

So, I guess you've never played Warhammer Fantasy then, eh?

Compared to WFB, you'd think the Mordheim rules were written by a staff of
lawyers, they are so tight. :-)

Not that comparing any rules system to the travesty of WFB is valid or
anything. :-)

- Rob

P.S. I'm NOT claiming that the Mordheim rules are flawless - merely that
they are vastly better written than previous fantasy works from GW.

I have to agree. Have you *seen* the FAQ that the Warhammer list
produced? It was 80 pages long...

No, I haven't ever played WFB. I bought them, and after a first read
through decided never to waste my time on them. Hell, I bought far more
wfb crap than I'll ever use to "play" with (anyone need some bret
knights, or archers, i've got roughly 64 and 150+ respectively, along
with other misc. brets) but there is always good source material and
the stories were a fun read during the dry spell between some of the
fantasy series I read. I just expected more after the near miraculous
clean up of 40k3rd (or maybe it's just that the improvement from 40k2nd
to 3rd was such a big step that anything as fast and loose as mordheim
bothers me). Of course, I might have been impressed with morheim if
actually got involved in WFB more.

Also, GrailKnight, I know full well that Tuomas wrote the rules for
mordheim, but I wouldn't let him write a memo if *I* had anything to
say about it. Lets hope he never takes a liking to the 40k universe.

**
I play WFB, W40K and Mordheim...all the rules seem to be written under
a different chemical influence.

By far, WFB rules are the heaviest, most cumbersome. At this point, I
am more or less waiting on WFB's next edition. I am enjoying Mordheim
and 40K for now.
