Dude, in my eyes it was yourself and DRM that led the re-invigoration of 6mm sci fi. You pushed for quality and proved not only what could be done, but that there was a market for it and lead directly to the proliferation of great 6mm ranges there are today. For your passion in that, I thank you.
This must have been a hell of a decision to make, but health and yourself have to come first. I raise my glass to all you achieved, and the best of luck for all futures mate. Take care.
I wanted to echo Pauls sentiments. It must have been a very hard decision to make, when the instinct is to keep the company staggering along at 95% instead of 100%, and it takes guts to allow it to go out with a celebration instead of a sigh.
I remember the really early days, standing around at Salute and looking at new casts or bouncing ideas off each other about 'what we would love to see in Epic'. Who would have thought that this.... empire, would be the result? EW/SCG and DRM are the two cornerstones of a resurrgence of Epic miniatures and 6mm science fiction gaming in general. You showed that it could be done, and done professionally and well, and that people would buy new 6mm miniatures.
You are the face of EW, because it was your heart and soul and dedication that went into it, and I am very proud to be a small part in the history of EW, and to have been there to watch it all.
My hope is that this will live on, through the Fractured Empire game, and that someone will step up and obtain the IP and designs to continue in a way that you approve, because 6mm gaming wont be the same without you and EW mate. And that is not an over statement.
