I may be wrong on this since i actually never played the 2nd edition of
epic...i jumped on with e40k and THEN got into NetEpic...
However, from reading the stuff in white dwarf when E40k was released, they
was basing it closely on 40K to draw as many 40K players into the game as
possible, and to make a brand new game.
The massive changes were just too much for the old crowd of people (i know
this for fact cos if it wasnt there wouldnt be a netepic) and thus they
failed in both of their goals
