I say count 'em. This is supposed to be a fun thing so I don't want to exclude. No one ever seems to remember the scenarios and of course people are also going to want to be playing games with the new SR rules. I say League scenarios and models are optional. But don't miss out on the whole alliances thing. You get to team up with another specified faction which is not something that usually gets to happen. At least not in a sanctioned way.
yeah the alliances sound like a lot of fun. I will probably try to do some of those games in seasons when I'm actually playing on Wednesdays. No regular menoth players for me to team up with on Tuesdays.
