This thread is for voting on the Lahmian Optional Army List.
Please note: This is not to vote whether it fits in with the theme etc. That is what the discussion in the threads is for.
It is to check and ensure we have created fair rules and choices that are not unbalancing, or there is not something grossly wrong that has been over looked.
This Poll will close on 06/12/09
