Nope, I said you'd flounced of like a twelve year old, which you did, the argument wasn't going the way you were dictating, so off you went, 'I'm not discussing this anymore. That's what 12 year olds do, Simple comparison.
You called me a jerk. I wasn't offended, it just struck me as unimaginitive.
Also, you know how you didn't want to argue anymore and didn't feel that this, or the rules warranted any further discussion. How's that working out for you?

I just don't like the way you tried to dictate rules to people and decided that because you interpretted differently to others, the rules must be broken.
I saw them a different way, most other posters did, as did the person who wrote them.
Maybe it's not the rules mate.

And I'll say it again, it's an open forum, so just because you say how it's going to work, doesn't make it so. I was enjoying a discussion between gamers about a rules interpretation. That's all, if you wanted a final definitive answer, all you needed to do was Email Matt, problem solved.
You don't discuss, you lecture. There's a difference. And everything I've said has been firmly tongue in cheek, if I've offended you then I'm sorry and you need to get out more
'cos I wasn't actually trying.
So, stream weapons have a 6" direct fire effect........ should they? I'm still thinking a template is a template, but I don't think it effects the game too much (not many times you'll be willing to give up a damage bonus to get another die).
One thing though.... what about all of those times when an MI player scatters a unit around a tanker to ensure they can't all be flamed? In the film the tanker rolled it's head and spread out a sheet of flame, that's what direct fire stream is representing (wider area with no damage bonus). I think I'm 'on the fence' to be honest. Works either way for me.
