hrugs- your opinion is your own DScipio. Neither side of that 'good vs. bad' is objective fact.

How
long for BFG, as in actual support or life support? Real support, I'd say about five years, then seven
more where the models could be occasionally purchased online and that was the limit of their
involvement.

I'm not going to get into the AoS thing too much, because it makes me miserable. I'll make it short:
from lore to the gameplay, AoS it's not for me. If this was its own product, it would be a solid meh,
but I'd be fine because it's a choice other gamers can make. I'd just keep on playing 8E. But the way
AoS was implemented, championed, and supported, made the whole mess a betrayal on par with
Isvaan III. You're going to get an emotional response because people like me made an emotional
investment in the game in addition to a substantial financial one.

Ugh, this is why I don't like discussing GW beyond a few neat lore bits. It's a setting I like a lot, but
the corporate aspect of its management and policies have sucked the joy out of so many facets for
me, that I can't help but be a bitter, cynical, but nostalgic rat. Remember the Battle for Nuln report?
The combined Campaign for Armageddon? -sighs- good times, good times.

Anyhow, congratulations to Games Workshop for coming around to supporting some additional
variety within their setting. I hope they are able to recapture the flair that a lot of their titles were
able to impart to a generation of gamers like myself. I pray that they do not betray the trust, hope,
and good-will that those properties still hold in the wargaming community. I may still have
misgivings, I may still have issues, and I may still be petty, but I also look at those games quite fondly.
I would love to be proven wrong and have Specialist Games lines reemerge as enriching and long
term partners in the Dark Future and Old World settings.

And now, back to Armada.

Wow yeah I remember the Armageddon campaign and the WD report, that was absolutely awesome.

The other great moment for me was the Eye of Terror campaign, especially some of the fan
generated coverage of the online results, and the eye of terror campaign codex. Really great,
authentic stuff.

ye Ophion, that's exactly what I remember too. The Armageddon campaign, Eye of Terror, even
Storm of Chaos for WFB was pretty good right up until the end. Not that the Fall of Medusa was bad
(GW managed to get me to buy a whole Vostroyan army). But that interaction with BFG, 40K of all
sizes, and Epic in Armageddon was some of the best times I've had in wargaming.
