Simple solution - create and "Epic Undisputed" board, for all versions of Epic, and affiliate it with this forum, the Nexus and all the sites.
Have other mods come in and help run it, shut down and move members from other boards and STOP ALL THE CONFUSION!!
Cheers
Chris
PS, I think I am I member of about 4 boards like that!

I spend most of my time here and on a rare occasion, Epic Yahoo. But 2 are enough for me. I'm easy ...

Me too...I live here now.
I occaisionally browse the official EA playtest board, but havent done so regularly for about 5 months now.
I like it here... I don't have the time to go surfing all over the place so I go where I like the people and enjoy the conversations; game, historical, serious and otherwise
yes...here I shall stay.

I am a Lurker on the Netepic group, Member of the EA list, epic list and of course active member of this forum.
I hardly ever browse the playtest forum anymore, since my last bout of ill health when my playtesting stops.
I simply dont have the time to be as seriosly involved as I once was in all the epic related lists & more besides.
I do however do some very vein searching through the playtest board - after somone pointed out to me that I had been mentioned in a thread, I sometimes search for "TuffSkull" to see if my names come up again & see if I can help out with anything. So, i guess if anyone does ever want me on the board, say my nickname & I'll appear in the thread

This was my first Epic and BFG site, after I met CyberShadow on Portent. He invited me over to the old version of this place, and I've stayed here since.
I sometimes wander to the other sites, but it's a rare occasion. I usually visit when I've been directed from a link of, for example, someones pics. I'll then have a quick browse around.
I have a few different 'groups' I'm a member of, so dont have time to visit too many places. I'm glad that this place seems to be one of the best around. Not only for how well its presented (thanks C.S.) but for all the great guys that also visit here.
Thank you everyone!!!

I am on too many lists and forums to even remember, and I had to cut down recently. I read and lurk in most places, but rarely post anywhere but here.

Hi!
Pretty much what I have done. I find this forum suits me and I really lack any motivation to post elsewhere.

Has anyone playtested EpicA with extremely large forces, ie, 5k and above, and found any major slowdowns? Especially with the smaller unit sizes? This is probably the only problem I currently have with the new rules. Comments, please.
my 2cents of questions,

Agree that you end up with a myriad of activations. However I think it's not much different than when playing old SM2. Sure it takes longer to play and an SM or Eldar player will have a lot more activations than his/her opponent but I haven't found it to be too much of a problem. Good tactics on behalf of the IG Chaos or ORk player can level the problem out pretty much (But of course a wrong move will tend to cost you dearer)
Cheers

I've found that things can slow down a bit... plus the extra saving throws for many units. For this reason I'm keeping Epic40k around.
