have you played with the new 5th rules yet. you dont give any reasons for your dislike of the rules, you just state that you find them 'crappy'. play a few (more than one) games, come up with reasons, then restart this thread so we can have a proper debate and tell you how wrong you are in a concise and logical fashion.

also the new 'go to ground' rule is meant to simulate modles hiding in cover, and can even be represented by laying your models down, but having read the rules thoroughly before you posted your dislike on an internet forum, you new that already

so youve played some games, having not read the rules? thats a good start isnt it. boo-hoo that you cant hide your precious battle suits as easily now.

go to ground if meant to represent hiding from fire you you dont die. if someone is shooting at you with a heavy bolter your going to keep your head down so you dont get blown up by it. your not going to risk your neck trying to get a pot shot at someone somewhere.

if you have a missile launcher and you see your enemy's arm poking out from the side of a building you will shoot at it, you might not hit him because hes behind a building (a cover save), but you will try. similarly if you are standing behind a wall you wont be able to see your enemy to be able to shoot at them.

learn to place your models better. the new rules require you to pay attention to what you're going, rather than "i move behind this wood, you cant see through the trees." who knows you may even become a better player because of it.
