Ignore the hate laurie1. It's very popular in this forum. People tend to fear new things, it's been that way since the beginning of time. I enjoy AoS and many unspoken enjoy it. We are all just scared to say so because Fantasy fanboys will jump down our throat in an instant. McMulligan is the guy that will bring 500 phoenix guard to a friendly game and lose all of his friends. Point values were only created to control people..ehem.. trolls like McMulligan. It's very easy to balance the game as I have already done so in a previous thread if it is really that important. If you don't care and just want to enjoy AoS like myself and my group of friends, and even the random people I look to play, then more power to you. Keep those spearmen in your list because people will see them and know that you are there for fun which will make your time all the better. Stay clear of trolls and safe travels my friend.
If you can't take a little tongue in cheek humour, these forums (and probably the entire internet) are going to give you a rough ride. I fully admit I have a low opinion of AoS (said it right in my post), doesn't mean that what I posted was in any way inaccurate or out of place. In fact I myself noted something I missed, PG also automatically have 2 attacks each on their profile, so no need to worry about numbers in the unit, which again boosts the PG far above spearmen in the role that the OP described.
I see you're a fairly new person around here, and probably fairly new to the hobby? I've even answered some of your rules questions on AoS in another thread (Caradryan and mounted Annointeds). Either way, in a very short time span you've gone full crusader mode against anyone that disagrees with you on the quality of AoS. In my opinion, that's equally as disruptive to the community as the unabashed hatred from others. I've expressed my opinion in a very even handed manner, and even attempted to help others understand the GW perspective (as shared with me by a GW rep).
My not liking AoS is in no way less valid on these forums than your approval of it.
