Looks like the WW1 supplement is imminent now. Very pretty but to be honest I like my rules books plain really.....

Why, oh why, would anyone subject themselves to that clunky 1970's IGOUGO system is totally beyond me. I once suffered through a WH WW2 game where a PzFaust fired at 4 times the range of a rifle, once was enough.

I'm not sure but seem like plenty will buy them.

Got to admit I don't like the big hardback rulebook with lots of pictures (not rules related diagrams) as a format that was used for Black Powder as well. I prefer the softcover with just the rules format that the Lardies or WRG use.

Nope [nor the WW1 ones] - but I understand they've got animals as well as those flood-the-arena-it's-time-for-fake-naval-battles in 'em...I suspect they're based on / developed from LoTOW / LoTHS as that would be the blindingly obvious thing to do...

Hmm...mind you. having said *that*, this is GW we're talking about...

So they're probably based on Epic. Or Man-O-War  :d
