Speaking of WZ. it's an interesting alternative to y'know, THEIR games. It's
very 40K in feel but about 3 times faster and easier to play. They are doing a
fantasy version too. Plus the figures are MUCH cheaper; squad of
Dire Avengers - 10 quid  squad of Imperial Trenchers - 3.95. It's not in
the realistic game bracket where Stargrunt is, very much in the Science
fantasy. But I'd buy it over the Evil Empire(TM acknowledged) stuff anyday...

after it got so far away from FT it was either stop reading it or lose the

No, I believe someone used that particular euphemism (wasn't RR such a good
diplomat?) for another company that prays upon the gullibility of it's
customer base by continually updating it's products to invalidate previous
purchases, produces mishmash copies of other companies works and charges more
for less than any other firm. And who I am now obviously not going to refer to
by name because I can do without any huge legal bills. But you should know who
I mean.
