, which is both grammatically correct and polite :/."So what!"
The reference to AT-43, which I haven't played, was actually more enlightening than most of what else you've said, which is largely comparisons, rather than information.
I'm not actually sure what you're saying in your following paragraph.
Your army list
1) is, in my opinion, one that I can't actually see being very useful with any caster*, so I'm not sure what point you're making here
2) is not exactly the same as saying that you only need to swap one model (swapping parts means a fair amount of extra work)
3) includes a proxy, in which case, I could argue that you can cut out a bunch of circles and write names on them, and all you need for any game or army would be the rules, paper, scissors, and a way of tracking effects and damage, so you don't need to spend any money.
requisite numbers of players to make a game fun is subjective, I guess.
*to elaborate:
Stryker, Siege and both Caines would be focus-starved
The Haleys, and Sloan would probably run it okay, though it would be a one-trick poney and not optimal. In the case of the Haleys, that's mostly because they're(she's?) strong caster(s).
Kraye, the Nemos and Darius probably wouldn't have enough jacks to run effective lists, and more importantly don't help the expensive infantry well (1/3 of your army is stuff that doesn't work with them)
eStryker and Constance wouldn't have much to do without melee infantry
I think that's all of them?
