A few weeks ago I saw Battlefleet Gothic Armada on steam, I was excited, but was disiapointed because it was RTS, and I can't play that. But should they make an exact copy of BFG for computer? Rule for ruile, point for point, turn based sim of the of the table too game. Could it make enough money to be worth it?

GW's stance has historically been that they don't want a 1:1 computer game version, as it could hurt model sales.

That said, the newest new Space Hulk game looks pretty 1:1, to the point that it looks spectacularly boring. However a lot of that is a lack of animations, art and decent sound/music assets to take advantage of the fact that it's a computer game (much like the Talisman ports- it doesn't have to have a terrible UI, but that was a design decision they made.).

As for BFG... eh? 'Make enough money to be worth it' is a pretty complex subject. It depends how much money goes in, and how well it gets out to the market.

Given BFG 1 was kind of pants, and BFG 2 is coming out around January (with more factions and 3 campaigns), it seems fairly moot. With a new RTS version dropping at the beginning of the year, they aren't going to do a turn based version any time soon.

It exists! Or did. On Android. Battlefleet Gothic: Leviathan. But I think support may have been discontinued - difficult to find on the play store.

Yeah, this was true to the tabletop game. The game had issues on Apple systems after an update and then the company disappeared (assuming went under).
