ive still got my old copy of the mighty empires game and klove the rules!
i cant see why GW wasted money making plastic tiles when they could have chopped down valuable forests to make cheaper and more cardboard ones
but think GW is against anything paper (i swear, codex books will be in plastic soon)
i like that the new ME has very simple rules, to allow people to come up with their own thing, but i am really a fan of complex and fun campaign systems like the old ME.
btw, the tiles are gorgeous, and i hear that they are strong enough once put together to be lifted off a table and hung on a wall, which is cool
