        Wow. Lucky... I sold my cards (again) and bought 32 MB of
RAM a few months back. I'm going to try the new game too, but
everything I've heard sounds unpleasant except for a few of the things
Richard mentions as being more "realistic". Haven't read them
thoroughly, but each new realistic element probably creates new
improbable scenarios as well.

        Really? I'd stick around. I think it's just a few loud
people like me that are going to stick with Epic a while longer. And
even out gaming group is at least going to buy the rules and give it a
shot before flaming GW repeatedly on rgmw. (I get bored, and it's a
good venting area. Leave me alone. :)

        Well, I think of this list as the Epic ML. I'm happy to
listen to E40k stuff, but that's hardly the only version of Epic I'm
likely to be playing for a while, unless it becomes heavily house
ruled... (The existence of Squats being the first of them)
