Good good, what we need is a tactical database of units, a breakdown per unit per game system - we have this already incorporated as part of the new EPICentre (just inactive). Was trying to build a weapons database, but a unit breakdown would be better.
We also need race specific tactics.
Even if you can only submit tactics for one unit it is better than nothing.
What do you guys think?

Hi!
Sounds good, I could finish the articles on the different armies for the net epic section.
By the way, when is the new epicentre going to be fully available?

Good idea Tom, go for it!
As Primarch said, when is the new EpiCentre going "live" so to speak? I know we have like a sneak preview bit, but we want the full blown thing!
Cheers
Chris

Just had to recode due to a server move which put me back a bit, but I want to get it done by dec. So I can have plenty of Epic:A material on there for the release in Feb.
My game should be ready for then as well.

What's the scale of Epic:Armageddon? How much distance does, say, 10cm translate to?
(I'm thinking of making a "crashd rok" terrain piece, which I can do by buying a 30cm polystyrene hemisphere, if it's to scale...)

Yes Epic is around 1/300 to 1/285 scale. But remember game scale and model scale are a bit different. Jervis talks about this in the original E:A downloads. I'll see if I can find it. However an Ork Roc in Epic scale would be VERY BIG, IMO !

Agreed - a smallish asteroid which could be used for a Rok can be anything from a few 100m to a few km large - building it to scale would mean having one at least 1m in length/diameter!

I think 30cm will be a little small, but then so what. It could be part of the larger structure or a broken off piece etc. As long as it looks good, and the weaponry etc on the structure are to scale, I wouldn't worry.

According to the EA FAQ, each turn is 15 minutes, and 30cm is 1km.

doh, that makes the average rok over a meter in diameter. Might have to go to plan B: rok fragment.

Why not? They arent too aerodynamic and would be prone to orbital entry damage.
..you could have a big door for the telyporta, and have reinforcements pour out of it!
How about a Hulk Fragment...that would be cool too...

Yup ! That's what I remember reading too Markco ! Thanks ! And you could still make a small Roc, maybe more like a big Drop Pod or Drop Roc ... they are Orks, so everything doesn't have to be uniform or even logical ! WAAAARGH !

Hi!
Interesting. I think Epic A would be the first epic version to have a formal scale mentioned.
