I agree with you. Epic will not completly die away if EA bites. There is still a market for minis. Albiet, a small one. I am sure they would rather have our money than have us go to another 6mm manufacturer. I personally believe it would be better for us, in the long run, if EA fails.   For some of the reasons the all knowing primarch stated.

Hi!

The thing is we are WAY beyond the "one rules set to bring them all and in unity bind them" phase. For better or for worse I dont think any rule set that they can produce will bring back "the good 'ol days" of epic gaming. So I think they should de-emphasize that aspect and concentrate on what unites us...the minis! :)

Besides they are after all a minis company, I just dont get the fixation on producing a rules set "everyone" will like. There is no such thing anymore.

You dont need to duck behind your desk signius I have a concrete bunker to hide! }:)

I agree. They should just concentrate on putting out minis. Maybe an odd modification here and there. I think the rules should be very basic. Specifics can be add to units and such but the core rules should be extremely flexible to allow for user modification and modules. There was a module I had worked on some years back to keep track of vehicle mods, engine upgrades, targeting improvement and such. I was actually crazy enough to start working on one that I could keep track of commanders and units. To provide promotions, citations and the like. I may try redoing this one. Since the old mods are about ten years old and gone from this earth.  :p

Hi!

You know, a program to keep track of epic unit "achievements" perhaps bound to an experience system where units could increase in proficiency would be most appreciated and useful. I love campaign style games and keeping a log of unit "citations" would be cool! :cool:

We've always felt, G/W (F/W) produce the models - we'll take care of the rules (at this point) ... :laugh:

Hi!

Perhaps, we can "pitch" it to them in the not to distant future, perhaps they'll listen....

...and perhaps they wont.

I don't think they'll go for it.

Hi!

Most likely, but I guess one can dream.

We'll see. Not that It really matters. The game is only what one says it is.  :p
