...Epic 40K _is_ SMII: HERESY. Or rather the "updated" version of it...

battles (...once you've organized your troops, that is), but it lacks in
detail - there's no real difference between the laser cannon on my Eldar
gravtanks and the Kustom Kannon of the Orks; both give a "firepower
value", and that's that. For smaller battles, I'll stick to DSII (where 
the difference between a HEL and a HKP is significant ;)
