I voted for the aztec mortar. Utah makes few units nowdays, but anything he creates could be in any commercial game

That's an unusual large amount of artillery. I voted for the Killer Hornet, it's a very special unit, but I think it's great.

I had to vote for Vuldacon's Tardis. The moment I saw the doors swing open to the point where you could see inside won me over instantly!

Very, very tough, but I voted for the hornet. It had the most detail to me.

Really, really tough choice. I think I'm leaning towards the Aztec mortar. Actually, this thread reminded me of the existance of the Aztec mortar (*grabs*).

Voted for Plotinus' Victorian Gentleman. It was really hard to choose though. Almost voted for Vuldacons Hornet.

Cheers

Many different definitions may be offered of the word "God". Given this fact, atheism makes a much stronger claim than theism does.

In my view, neither the stronger nor the weaker claim has been convincingly established. Anthony Kenny

Thank you, everyone. It's quite the honor to win Unit of the Year 2009.

It was quite unexpected, I can assure you. As I haven't been around at all for weeks, I didn't even know that the poll was active. Plotinus sent me a message informing me of the results, which I saw this morning.

Thanks again.

And, thank you, Plotinus for sending me that message. I appreciate it.
