So, is there anything worthwhile in the book which isn't in the PDF files?

Got to a computer again.
There isn't particularly anything new. But that doesn't mean its not worth it.
The pics are much nicer in colour, and all the units are now next to their relevant datasheets.
To be honest, I think the PDF's have every page covered.
Ahh yes...But my hitmen operate on Australian time and so are 11 hours ahead of you! |
Hang on...there's a knock on my door.

Mojarn,
I recently aquired some Squats from eBay, and would like to play a few games with them, would you mind sending me a copy of the list you are using? I got a version from one of the Yahoo groups, but want to see what else is around before I finalise on a list.
My e-mail address is chriscorker@DAKKAlycos.co.uk (remove the DAKKA - anti-spam control)
Cheers
Chris

I'll send it to you. The list is based on the NetEpic list so it includes a few units not in the yahoo group list, which is based on the original SM2 list. Also, I made it a few months ago so it may be slightly outdated; I haven't looked at the latest pdfs so I don't know if there is much difference. The point values were made by comparing to existing units and can be (and most likely are) way off.

Its missing two important pages:
1) and most important - Page 1. Thats the one with the name of a number of Forum members on under the credits... Not least mine... Very important..... 
2) The Page with the advert for Netepic.org. Also HIGHLY important & well worth suggesting everyone to buy the book 
OK, so other than that its pretty much complete, just some minor alterations which Jervis said will be covered in the next PDF anyway...  _________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

So do we all get to play a game of "match the name to the nickname" once the book is out?

LOL, I thought I'd make life easy (I didnt just do it to ensure I had the longest credit.. honest... ) and my Nickname is in there with my real name
All the ones I recognise go by their real names online anyway. Having had another look though, most are people I actually know from my days running epic40K.com and from the epic Yahoo group rather than this forum specifically. Maksims in there though - nice one mate _________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

Thanks again, Tuffskull. I'll probably buy the book anyway, for the simple reason that I have all the previous editions of Epic. I am something of a collector as a few people around here may already know...

IIRC the people who got their name in the rule book credits are the 6 top posters on the EA forums + Tuffskull (or at least those are the 7 people Jervis CC'ed the email to)

Ahhhhh... That makes sense. & the others I know who arent as visably active were all part of "The Titans".
Edit:Actually no, that doesnt make sense - What Email???
I should probably know this, ?but which name would that make you then, because none of them ring any bells as tieing in?_________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

Steady lads......
Yes they went quantity over quality, but, infairness it wouldnt have been impossible for them to do anything else. Those who are named have certainly contruted a lot (besides myself, but I'm in as a painter not a development/playtester etc.)and whilst there will be those who have probably been critical to the games final form in their few suggestions, but not posted that often, it wouldnt be possible (or right IMHO) for Fanatic to try and decide who's comments were most worthy of specific mention._________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

Did they?
Does anyone actually remember (or have an email from) Jervis saying that he picked the top seven (or however many it was) based on the number of posts?
My impression was that the people picked were the people he though contrinuted the most.
I may be wrong but that was certainly the assumption I got.
