Don't get me wrong, I do like Epic as a game system, even though I thed
to think of it as a SF version of micro armor. Of all the versions of
Epic that I have played I still think that the OLD Space Marine game
(Version 1.0) is the best. I, of course, have not seen the Mk III rules
yet, but I will be getting them.
