The Melta rule in this edition is odd. A melta weapon according to the lore should be a short range anti-tank weapon, but instead what we have is a short range weapon that's good at killing Terminators and pretty much nothing else.

For example, a standard Melta in short range against a Chimera (T9) will wound on a 4+ but against a Manticore (T10) or a Leman Russ (T11) will only wound on a 5+.

If we switch the rule so that Melta X increases Strength instead of Damage then with your standard Meltagun (12" Str 9 Melta 2) when you're within 6" (which is pretty short range) you're wounding T9 on a 3+, T10 on a 3+ and T11 on a 4+.

It's a pretty small change for 11th but one I think would fix t

Edit: So, thanks to u/z01d, there's a helpful blog post here: https://symfony.com/blog/upgrade-flex-on-your-symfony-projects

So it looks like flex.symfony.com is currently down, the DNS isn't resolving https://dnschecker.org/#A/flex.symfony.com . This is a problem because it stops us from being able to do composer installs.

So the AliceBundle which currently has 100k downloads a week on packagist has just disappeared for some reason. I'm working on trying to get a cached or forked version of it available so people can continue to use it. If anyone knows of a recent cloneable version please let us know!

Looks like you can add this to your composer.json to fix this temporarily until this is all resolved:

"repositories": [

As you can see from a quick search lots of people want to build a new framework for PHP. I'm curious as to people's thoughts on why this is happening. I've got a couple of theories:

1. History When PHP started to really gain market share there were no frameworks to speak of, a few systems such as Wordpress and Drupal. Then things like Symfony and Zend came along which really improved development practices but at the cost of having to learn the 'Symfony way' or the 'Zend way'. It seems like this practice has continued as people want to make the 'next' framework with their own way.

2. Simplicity Learning framewor
