Subject: Why Warhammer 40k is better than Warhammer Fantasy Battles
WW2 tanks
just glad I have the option of a MMORPG game than the possibility of brewing up in the real thing .
My laptop is probably not going to be fast enough my previous attempt at such gaming was let down by lagging :(
Nothing at all whatsoever to do with innate lack of game playing skills. Honest guv.
Personally would like the look of the game more if it had a greater emphasis on historical tactics.
I get the impression that it pays lip service to that, but the needs of MMORPG get in the way. Thus the cool but unWW2 targeting system.
In anycase I would rather be in a Tiffie Taxi Rank with my 4 x 20mm cannon and 8 60lb rockets!

Since you're asking a rhetorical question. I'll give you the rhetorical answer you've already settled on.
"Yes - One game. No More, no less."
erm, yeh.
The point was you were dismissing the game on the basis that it's popular with children while partaking and starting a childish argument yourself.
He used to play it, back when it was cool.

It sounds a lot like one of my favourite Playstation games, Panzer Front, except that your platoon, and the enemy, is made up entirely of human controlled tanks.

Anything that keeps children away from Fantasy Battle is good, lest they grow up (I say grow up...) and continue to play it in later life.
After a hard day's work of being a local sporting hero and legal hotshot, I like to drive up to the country club for a few rounds of Fantasy Battle so I can show off for the ladies.

I thought this thread would actually be about 40k vs WFB. Someone should do another of those threads because lots of the problems people used to have with WFB seem to have been fixed in the new edition of WFB.
i thought it was, and the vid was to show us why, the tank (which isnt 40k but represents 40k) rolling over the WFB orc

If you are peeved to have come in for a 40k vs WHFB discussion, and got this instead, sorry.
