Epic does work very well with DSII. I have myself been overwhelmed by Orcs as
my ESU battlegroup fought to the last man. There are of course no official
rules to convert Epic to DSII, but there are some posted at various sites (I
can't remember which). However with a little imagination you can do it
yourself. DSII and FT are there to be altered played with

and modified to suit the games you want to play. GZG are not Games Workshop
and do not dictate what figures you must buy to match this list

and that. If anything I believe that (Please Mike correct me if I am wrong)
but GZG have been under pressure to produce there background universe.

The Wave gun replaces the dreaded Nova Cannon so loved of power gamers.

None of the of the new system unbalances the game badly not even the Kra'vak.
I will fly in the face of opinion by saying that a well balanced fleet of the
human variety can whip the Kra'Vak. It is just a matter of

tactics (Thats another posting folks!). Do go and buy More Thrust the

rules are good the background stuff is really interesting! I would like

to toss another can of petrol on the fire by saying that in general the

GW purist I have met over the years seem to spend more time being rules

lawyers than games players! The most vocal arguments at our club are between
the GW players. Maybe I am getting old and bigoted myself but perhaps this is
what makes this the friendly mailing list that it is!

Sounds good, BUT...

Does it make it like Epic, 40k or some other tabletop games in that the

ship
with the "railgun" or "supah dupah nuclear-kill-eze deathstrike missle"

can waste almost any other ship in one round?

Could someone (in private email mebbe) give me a rough (v rough; I'm not
asking
for the rulebook ;-)) idea of how some of these systems work. Especially

the railguns. They sound cool.

Would my Epic stuff work with the DirtSide II rules? I hear it sometimes does.
If it helps, I have an Eldar and Chaos Epic force.
