In terms of scale and such. That's what I've been hearing thrown around.

Deadzone is a great game, and uses a similar amount of models, but it's not a Necromunda substitute in any way, sadly. The rules are very different, the playing area is 1/4 the size but most importantly, it doesn't have any of the narrative qualities of Necromundas campaign system. To me, the post game is 80% of the fun in Necromunda. In Deadzone, I'd much rather play one-off games.

I can live with TLOS in Firefight, I think, if it's about individual models. Where it breaks down for me is when the whole squad can be wiped out because one guy's elbow can be seen around a corner. Like what happens in 40k from 5th onwards.

40k also uses TLOS on an individual basis. Can't kill what you can't see!
