Hi!
Yup, that's pretty much the way I see it. While I wish them the best, no
new epic game will succeed unless they do the following:
1. Design a game from scratch after polling epic players "what do you
want to see in an epic game".
2. Organize "beta testers" for any design they come with. No system
should be published without much scrutiny.
3. In must be supported by mainstream GW, which means WD support and
adequate support from GW stores and mail order. In fact treat it like
they do 40k or fantasy.
Anything short of this will fail.

Yep, that was how I always viewed E:A. I'm not
interested in their rules, I think we already have a
far better set of rules right here.

There will be three phases that Epic players should
watch for:
- First release of E:A, when you might get some good
package deals;
- The drop, when GW decides they have sucked E:A dry
and go on to promote something else. Watch Ebay and
the second-hand shops for the next month or two as
people sell off their Epic stuff to pay for the next
GW fad;
- Bye-bye, when GW decides (again) that nobody likes
their Epic game and they dump all remaining stock.
Should be some real bargains at that point, but don't
delay or you could miss the last boat.
