Smaller file size. And I had nothing else to do.

And do you really think most of the people on this list have the original
SM? A quick show of hands.

Do you use the BattleBible? Same thing. But mine does not compete with
currently published material or even intend to.

Its no different from NetEpic my fine feathered friend. I appreciate the
concern but am not holding my breath.

Again. BattleBible and NetEpic. Battlebible actually competed with their
products. Mine does not. I'm not selling it or anything. And I think Epic
needs all the help it can get :)

And most people do not have access tot he original edition. You may, but the
only copies you can find now are in auctions for 2x the original price.

Play Tactical Strike. Better game anyways.

Go in peace my Epic friends. ;)
