changes you illistrate were probable the ones Jervis was working on. The
are truer to the original game and fix flaws in the later editions.I
cannot beleave the NEW Epic was his idea.It probably a market dept driven
reason to increase sales.By the way.The English company Wargame Reserch
Group has quite a good set of ancients rules,their methology and
game sequences are hobby standards and are up to version 7 I
think.There were books of army lists covering all the worlds
military armies in detail from early Broze age to late
Midevil.Armies had hondreds of stands of any concevable weapon and
ability.Anyway about two years ago the came out with a set that used only
twelve stands,no matter which army you used and all types of
cavalry,infantry,and missle troops were reduced to standard types. Does
this sound familiar?Did not GW see this and do the same!I think Epic 4000
is in the style of De Bellis Antiqitus. sauron1
