Come on guys ! Stop whining !
I don't really understand why a rewrite of the system is such a problem !
It was stated zillions times that the old stands are going to be compatible.
It is the same group of people that created the game we all love, that is
going to make the new one.Don't be so negative before looking at the system.
If you don't like the new system, just keep playing with the old one.If you
happen to love it (and I *bet* you will), just use the new one !
Like a thread that was active in this mailing list before it broke down :
"GW doesn't put a gun on your head" to buy their games, so you are free not
to buy it.
In the rec.games.miniatures.warhammer, doddsy described some of the
differences that we will see in Epic 3, and the new army structure (among
other things) seemed very interesting.

Maybe you know some things that I don't, but I don't see so many reasons to
be that pessimist about Epic 3.
Can somebody give me those reasons ?

Marc.
