wow... this is gonna be kinda hard to admit,
ya see, i got our store preview copy of E40K
so i can read up on it and run the demo day this weekend...
and it really looks like a good system

(there... that still hurt, but not as much as i thought it would)

the game is *totally* different in concept from "Epic"/"SM",
this comes out most clearly in the designer's notes.
the idea is meant to be a big change from the current system,
and really does seem to live up to the designers ideas.

still has some problems, especially in the area of
movement and ranges...
i'll have to play several games before i get a true feel for the new
ranges.

i'm still planning on keeping my Epic/SM rules as well,
as i think that game design has some better ideas,
and i really want to use NetEpic's list of titan weapon points.

so check it out , take the parts you like from the three systems
out, and build a good combi-game for your local group.
i'm definitely keeping the unit design system (back to 1st edition! yea!)
and the new flyer rules (Thawks way toned down, i think)

"my brain hurts!"
