Before I give any more false impressions (yeah right), let me say I do
like E40K as a generic set of scifi ground combat rules. It's just that
it's not Epic to me. It fails miserably to capture the feel and interest
of the 40K universe, which is what drew me in to it from the first. I do
use E40K rules for other universes, such as Dune, where the amount of
variation is much less, and all the armies tend to be more alike than
different. That said, with in the 40K universe, the amount of variation,
on many levels, just is incapable of being properly represented by E40K
as they stand. the game was abstracted too far IMO to allow this.
Playability isn't always the issue to be dealt with. Personally, I'm not
looking for a 6mm game that I can crank out in 30 minutes or less. when
I play, I want the feel of the universe represented, and I want to see
and know that the variances between the races and armies shows up on the
battle field in game. E40K didn't do that for me.
