Whoa!  Easy there!  You didn't read everything I said!  I don't have ANY
experience running in AD, much less running in AD with warriors that don't
have any potential there.  I know some people who do, though:

ALL THE MANAGERS WHO RUN WARRIORS CONSISTENTLY IN HOME GUARD!!!
:-)

I understand that it's a lot of fun, which is what you indicated you were
looking for.  As such, why don't you check it out.

Oooh, strong words.

Hold on there, I don't think that I ever trounced on your views of what
Duelmasters should or should not be...

>It's a different kind of question, an excercise I
>thought might interest SOMEBODY out there.

Yes.  I know several people who run in Home Guard for this exact reason.  I
hope that some day (after I graduate, or when I come into big money), I'll
be able to relax and run warriors with no potential in Home Guard.  I don't
think any less of you because this seems your bent, but I sense that the
reverse isn't quite true.

>If you don't think this kind of

There are lots of things that I consider a waste of my time, but exploring
different aspects of Duelmasters is not one of them.  Did I make you think
that I felt I was wasting my time?  How?

>Just because you might consider this approach to the game
>a waste of your $1.50, doesn't mean EVERYONE will, and I have already said
>that I don't.

Oh, I don't think that it's a waste, but I know that I personally can't
afford it.  I'm sorry if that alters my viewpoint a bit, but I can't help
it!  :-)  Besides, if you don't mind spending the money, more power to you!

Ok.  Just wanted to point out what I was trying to say (a bit guardedly)
before.
