I heard that the Legion have not been using the full auto gun rule. Will they be sticking to true semi?

If they use normal semi auto will they be as effective?

Having seen the legion play a few times, they seem to be able to dominate on the break with supreme sweet spotting skills, will this be negated by the other team using full auto guns at 15bps while the Legion use their normal guns?

Full auto will have levelled the playing field a bit, and reduced the effectiveness of the Legions running and shooting abilities to pour paint in a specific place.

I think that if they use the semi boards, then they will do no better than Trauma and Philly and Oakland.

If they use the full auto boards then i expect them to do slightly better.

Either way, good luck.:)

Who do they have first, and when is the game?

I think they will still surprise everyone, however I don't think they will get an easy ride to the top at all. Even though Dynasty have been All conquering Champions for so long they still lost games here and there.
You don't have to win them all to guarantee the championship. you just have to be consistent , which I believe the legion are.:)

They will be getting a little reinforcement for LA from Fred Halmone.....

I don't think they are going to stomp everyone and not drop a match all season but they will do well and probably win the league.

I can't find the voting choice I would select. I want to vote between the "stomp" and "do OK". I don't think they will have any problems with the reffing and I'm not sure they will win the series but they will definitely be in the finals.

For starters, they best be using the correct equipment--and I expect they will be--or else they'd best not exceed the 15 bps limit, which I do not doubt their semi guns can do--and have routinely done.
Second, there are some significant differences between divisional Xball field designs and NXL fields that almost nobody discussing this seems to take into account. In LA the field will not be advantageous to Boston.
Lastly, the regular season is meaningless in many respects and I expect Boston to be far more interested in learning than winning right now. When they are satisfied with their adjustment to the game and the responses of their players then they will worry about winning matches.
Even so, I expect them to to do more than okay.

and I was led to believe that the new rules were not actually being enforced in Pomona. Is this the case?

Either way I say 'Stomp', although its a stronger word than I would have chosen myself.
