Hi!

I find it intreging that the biggest complaint I hear about
TL/SM/Epic is that the minis are not at scale to the rest. how
Imperitors should be bigger, how do you fit 15 orcs in a battlewagon,
etc. If GW does make it 10mm this should help eliviate this problem
for most gamers, as we could simply use our current troops, but the
new larger vehicles and titans.

Hmm.. thats an excellent point! As we have stated before epic scale is
horribly out of whack in some cases ludicrously so (like knights and minor
demons). Perhaps 10mm is not so bad since the vehicles would finally be at
scale with the troops. Then again thats a lot of money to lay down.

As for the other complaints of dumming the game down, we must be
carefull. if it takes a "dummer" game to attract the "kiddies" then
we should support this. "Kiddies" eventually grow up to be "serious
gamers". If we are to survuve natural attrition, we must attract
younger blood into the gaming field. So if we could get "kids" to
play a dummed down version of the game, eventually as the grow up and
their tastes change we can introduse them to netepic/TL/SM/Epic, as
our fancies go.

I always thought GW should release one set of rules with a basic and
advanced rule component. The basic rules reflect what they usually make as
rules, very simple and without much detail. The advance rules would add
chrome. That way both parties are satisfied.
