I certainly don't see any problem with supporting netepic and E:A. Like everyone else I hope for long-term GW support of E:A, but the writing is on the wall. I do feel bad for Jervis. It must be an awful feeling to put so much effort into something that appears to be doomed. Although I would love to see tons of new minis, that just ain't gonna happen. I would be happy with E:A rules for everything (or almost everything) that has be released so far.

We know that eventually GW will stop producing E:A, but until that happens, I feel it's important that we support it as much as possible, not for the sake of GW's profit margin, but rather in the hope, as slim as it may be, that maybe, just maybe, the powers that be at GW will get their heads out of their collective asses and realize that Epic is something worthy of full support. Or, at the least maybe they will realize that they could make tons of money from us rabid fanz!  :laugh:

Hi!

Hehe, good one Dwarf Supreme.

For me at least, every one of epic bring some more new minis, so the longer the run is the better. :)

Hi!

Hehe.

Deep down, I WANT to beleive GW would do epic justice. That they will support it indefintely.

The new yorker in me however tells me to get real.... :;):  :p

The list you are in charge of is great.

But the histrical track record of GW, well that is different.  :laugh:

Hi Guys,

*** Exactly hpow many background forces are in the AMTL list? ***

It sounds like the current AMTL list includes all of the following:

- Titan Legions

- Knight Households

- Adeptus Mechanicus vehicle and infantry forces...
(Leman Russ Tanks and Skitarri mechanzed infantry)

- Adeptus Mechanicus Superheavy vehciles such as Ordinati

- Capitolis Ordinatus...

*** So... how many of these are included or not included in the AMTL list? ***

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Yep, I think you are correct M/S !  It's a hybrid melding of a lot of fluff, etc., from different Epic eras ! :)

I've got the last two down as one and the same (minus huge tunnelers, plus Capitol Imperialis), but everything else is present and correct at various levels.

Problem comes when people want more (artillery, half the Imperial Navy, etc) instead of working with what we have, assuming the AMTL is a base list.

For my next trick, I shall get Jervis to answer some of my questions.....

Never mind indefinitely, I'd be happy if they supported it for as long as Jervis indicated it would take to get it all done (2010, IIRC). The pessimist in me tells me it won't happen.  :laugh:

I'll agree to this. Towed artillery seems kind of silly, but SPA seems to be appropriate for a mechanized army. I certainly would like to see AAA, like the Hydra. If we go by previous fluff, then IMO there should be minimal Imperial Navy.

TLs don't need much FA ... Titans are mobile weapons platforms.  However, ADA/AAA/Flak are needed for something as big as a Titan/Target ...

Have you still not gotten any comment with respect to list direction?

Man... that seem sort of unlike JJ.

I do know that he is in a mood to push hard to get some closure on some of the lists - mostly the stuff that was at the top of the to-do list when the printed expansions plan was in effect.  Maybe that's pulling his focus.

neal- when I checked my email this afternoon, he'd responded some time in the last 24 hours; sent some follow-up questions off to him, and have posted the reply on the AMTL board.

It might help if he was visible on the forum at some point, and if we knew precisely what "improved online support" can mean when you're missing over half your staff.

THe bottom line is, JJ is not being backed up by the company. He can only do so much and then he is done.

GW and their failure to support Epic is the real issue. JJ is just doing the best he can with the situation as it is.
