Oh and my colonoscopy came back negative. I drink my metamucile, and eat 5 bowls of bran flakes a day. I have a wheat grass smoothy for desert and then go to bed at 8:30pm every day. I get up at 4 am 1/2 an hour before i went to sleep, and am the founder of AARP. i get social security and drive in two lanes at once with BOTH BLINKERS ON!
Yay!
Anyone who argues about a half mm needs to sell off thier stuff on ebay...

Old Adept, just how old are you? You're like a grandpa who's always pissy about something, as if someone put too much milk in your muesli.
LOL, and this is coming from Mr. "Laid back relaxed mellow attitude towards life and X-Wing in particular"
Laugh of the day, possibly the year
Nobody's called me that since high school.

I stand by that quote. Anyone who would get so worked up over a half mm that they would get into an argument over it in this or any other game, SHOULD sell their stuff and get a new hobby. Those people are not enjoyable to play against and put a bad face on this or any other hobby. And most of us probably know people like this too. Indeed fly casual.
The half milimetre is ridiculous enough, but the humidity, really!
if one worries about deviations in the sub millimetre category, then I hope you checked all your bases for conformity or the template check is worthless...
besides if you are being that exact, you have to watch your opponent like a hawk, since depending on the material you are playing on pressing to hard on the template on one side might rise it on the other side and shorten the "over ground" length by a fraction of a millimetre, scandalous!
this is why the tournament rules state that at the start of a match, the players decide on 1 set of range/maneuver templates to use during a match. This prevents any disputes about the variance in range rules.
besides, as long as you use 1 set of templates it doesn't really matter if they differ from your opponents by one, two or even three millimetres. Sure, there might have been situations decided by a millimetre, but you usually can't profit from them actively as long as you are bound to the same template all the time. A millimetre longer or shorter can help in certain situations, but you can't create them with this accuracy and the probability is high that you have the "wrong" kind of difference.
So let's call the differences just an inherent detail of the faction style - it's not a bug it's a feature.
Accuracy is important. If your rule is over by 1/2 and opponent under by 1/2 .. thats a whole mm. Which adds up to the course of a game. Whether cardboard or faulty manufacturing, you should pursue the most fairest of grounds to have the highest claims / rewards for being victorious.
Like in computer games, my systems have usually been subpar. Most times I did average, lows and few highs. Never felt like a game is crap etc in a pvp situation because I knew I wasn't fighting on an even ground.
"Fly Casual" i think is getting a little to over used. I mean seriously, if you start loosening the rules / structure of the game you start losing it. I am just a troll and it's getting annoying, which is ironic because i'm the "it is what it is" type. Low blood pressure to prove it. lol
