There's no doubt that the WV platform has potential. It could and should be great. There's a ton of fantastic stuff from back in the day which I'd love to see again. They could quite easily show old models from then in a progression sense - how they & armies change over the years to arrive at current designs.
Alas though, I fear we're stuck with the kind of thing that they've done in Edition 1 and that really is a shame.
