I admit I dont' much care for the genericizing of some of the units, but I
would hardly say all flavor is gone. At least not before I see the game.

I have to admit I didn't much care for the table I read in the advertisement
when it comes to game mechanics, I think you are overlooking the fact that
unless you memorized the unit stats (easy for some, hard for forces like the
Orks) the game was heavily table/chart based anyway.

Since this is being batted around on the netEpic thread, I thought most
would consider this an improvement.
