I don't understand why they think anybody would care to bother about
competing with Gross Wannabe-Wargames!
Never found a figure I would buy at retail from them, never found a set
of rules they produced that didn't make like limburger gone bad, and
never much cared for their 'Play our Rules OUR way ONLY' attitude. And
that _is_ my balanced, rational opinion. You should see my tirade mode.
Or maybe not, it's not even a little less then rabid...
In [gag, choke, gasp] defense of some of the reportedly better aspects
of
the company's efforts, I have not seen Epic or Rogue Trader rules which
some people, who are superficially sane at least, report as good
products. And I have collected a few fantasy human figures in grab bags
that were identified as possibly 'early' GW figures that were fairly
reasonable.
Makes me think I might have a little idea how the Aussies think about
some of the American military leadership/mindset when we get into the
"We
invented [fill in the blank]" mode.
Gracias,
Glenn
