GW revives Specialist Games?

[Mr Mystery]

Epic and Warmaster both worked well for their scale.

For Warmaster, every fight was essentially a game of Warhammer, but of course abstracted.

Epic - proper old Epic (it's not often I'm an edition snob, but this one is a stickler for me!) was generally won through careful contestation of the Objectives, coupled with the choice elimination of enemy units. So akin to modern 40k, but arguably harder thanks to the orders system. You really, really needed to think about what you wanted to do, as it was IGO/UGO, with different phases to be worked in.

It is in Hazzard county.

Just as Bo and Luke.

Yeah, it seems a little uncharacteristic of GW to make an announcement via official channels like this for something that is so far out- but all of our speculation is pre-mature. So far, GW don't know what the new Specialist Division will do either.

I guess they didn't want people just throwing around rumors when they started hiring project management for the new division.

Or they wanted to promise that the new board game would stick around (unlike the last three they released). Or that the Hobbit would be supported again, even though it is feeling pretty abandoned at the moment.

Anyway, lets hope they're listening to the good speculation.
