(Legions of Steel) Zip-a-dee-doo-dah!

After a long, long wait via the US Postal Service, I finally have a copy of Planetstorm in my possession: I only got a very quick perusal of the book, but a couple of things stick out. First off, despite the 3.1.2.5.7 subsection "a" writing style of the rules, the rules are only 30 pages of large text. Everything else is army lists, weapons stats, pictures, and flavor text. Now, you could argue that weapon stats are part of the rules, but let's be honest: If you know the rules, the special rules are secondary or superfluous to gameplay . Second, although the tabletop rules are slightly different than the underground rules, all figures are represented inside. So why are Alien Sourcebooks for basic LOS going for $15-25 to start?

Of course, it's also been quite awhile since I read the flavor text for the color panels. It was a nice reminder just how evil the Machine version of me is. It will be a nice read down memory lane as little Amelia refuses to sleep through the night.
