I'm not a fan.
The game is decided by wacky combos of named characters calling the 'Epic Duel' action and slaughtering 20 enemies single-handedly, it's not uncommon to remove 20/30 individual models after a single round of combat, most named characters are far too cheap for their abilities, and it requires a literal bucket of dice to play a game with.
Did you see the movies...?
Honestly, I don't remember killing 20/30 models with my Epic Duels (maybe 5/8 at most) but I only did about 4 or 5 duels in a game..
You are right about the number of dice though.
E&C, have you played it (or the Strategy Battle Game) yourself or just watched a game/heard about it?
I have to say that I play LotR (both types) because of a deep love of Middle Earth, whilst I play Epic because I believe it is the best system I know.
