    The document discusses plans for expanding the Epic miniature wargame system to include new games focused on titan battles and aerial combat at the squadron level, all using the same Epic miniatures. It also addresses concerns about having many faction lists, noting that similar large historical rulesets haven't caused issues.

    However, we will not add as well as doing my day job with


    Land Raider Crusaders to the Codex Fanatic, I also do some work for
    Astartes army list. Warhammer Historical Wargames,
    mainly because I'm fascinated by
    The result of this is that the army lists will military history and enjoy playing
    not constantly be changing, which I think historical tabletop games. My own
    will be a very good thing. It will also allow Warhammer Ancient Battles rules have
    us to do army lists that have real around 30 army lists, while the highly
    • character, rather than boring generic lists
    that don't. I know some of you may worry
    popular De Bellis Multitudinis rules
    produced by Wargames Research
    about the number of lists and the Group have in excess of 2oo! In neither
    potential confusion this will cause, but case have these caused any problems,
    I'm confident this will not be the case as so I really don't think this will be an
    long as we make sure that no list is
    issue for Epic either.
    laden down with special rules or
    exceptions. Many of you will know that
    SMAll SCALE, BIG PLANS
    My long term (and, it has to be said,
    rather grandiose) plans for Epic are to
    create a family of games that use a
    common set of Epic miniatures. Each
    would be separate games but use the
    same miniatures. The three games I'd
    like to make are:
    Epic: Grand Tactical Combat in the
    41 st millennium.
    Adeptus Titanlcus: Titan vs Titan
    battles.
    Air War: Squadron level aerial combat
    in the 41 st millenium.
    Epic, as you'll have realised, is now a
    realityl I produced this game first as
    there are lots of players with Epic armies
    out there already. Adeptus Titanicus and
    Air War will follow later.
    I love aerial combat games and have
    been playing them in one form or
    another for almost 30 years now, so the
    thought of doing my own holds a lot of
    appeal. I'm hoping to get some test rules
    up in the Vauit if I can, but don't hold
    your breathl Why squadron level? Well,
    one of the things I've learned from
    reading about aerial combat in real-life is
    that while Hollywood may fixate on aces
    and one-an-one combats, the reality was
    that it was the best trained squadrons of
    aircraft that usually won. The lone wolf
    pilot was something that was really
    oniy seen early in World War I, and
    by 1917 all of the early lone wolves
    were either dead or had leamed
    that they needed to act as part of a
    team. The art at aerial combat at the
    tactical level, then, is not how well you
    can fly your plane, but how well you
    and the rest of your comrades can act
    as a team to defeat the enemy. So far,
    no aerial combat game has really
    ~ptured this, but it's what I'd like my
    game to reflect.
    With regard to Adeptus litanicus, I think
    hat Gav Thorpe's Adeptus Titanicus II
    rules (available as a download from the
    Epic website) really only need an update
    and some more development work to get
    them to a finished state. As with Air War, I
    hope to get an updated version of the
    Adeptus Titanicus II rules up on the VauU
    some time soon. Once the rules are up,
    we can start to test and develop them.
