Well, in an "intellectual" discussion all points of view are welcomed. ?However, we are not talking about 40K rules, which in my opinion, are silly and ... suck ! ?We're talking about Epic rule systems for FA. ?I know you're new to the forum so welcome aboard, however you won't find too many rabid 40K fans here. ?Most of us are pretty hard-corps Epic players. ?I've been playing Epic since SM1 in '90, and collect all the armies, so I've been around. ?Too many times on 40K sites your brethern use the same very tired excuse, "It's not supposed to be realistic, it's a Sci-Fi/Fantasy game." ?Well we have had similar discussions here many times, and you'll find most of the Epic gamers here are a little more "evolved" when it comes to gaming rules. ?We like Sci-Fi and we like some reality in our rules, as well. I have some knowledge and experience in the use of Infantry, tanks, artillery, etc., so regardless, whether tanks are manned by Orks or Nazis, they should function a certain way in modern mid-20th century warfare which Epic rules, in general, are based, ie. WWII mobile warfare. ? If you read the entire thread you would have seen that I said, that by making the FA rules simpler and a little weak worked or it appeared so, an entirely accurate portrayal of FA would not be much of a game (WWI, Dien Bien Phu, etc., etc.). ?And we have always used Scatter rules in Epic and it does matter. Hitting the wrong target may affect your plan, if you have one ? ?Oh BTW, I've also called in FA and CAS for real, and again, it does matter. ?And I know about the 15 min. per turn, which is in the E-A rules. I doubt, it's a 15 min. sustained barrage, anymore than any unit that fires is "hosing" a unit with small arms fire or tank rounds. That's alot of ammo - "Amateurs talk tactics - professionals talk logistics.", is a current saying with the US Army. So does it matter - "NO" - play whatever game or rules you want, but, saying you play Chaos and 40K and saw Star Wars - well, "that ain't gonna cut you no slack" with me ...  And again, welcome to the forum ...
