While searching the web for things Dawn of War related, I came across this: Relic Forums – 2nd Edition Rules.
My money worries are over. A man from Nigeria has contacted me with deal to transfer funds out of his country. I’ve already given him my bank details.

I wonder if there’s some international effort to revise the 2nd ed rules properly.

Found an open source gaming movement? Sounds like a sure fire get rich scheme to me. Linus Torvalds is super rich isn’t he?
Games Workshop could learn a thing or two from D&D. They both were reasonably complex (and allowed plenty of freedom within the game) in the early versions but 40K was simplified to fix the problems unlike D&D. D&d has the advantage though that people aren’t playing co-operatively and don’t abuse the rules (A wide generalisation, I know. If you don’t agree, you know where I live).

Do you mean, D&D people ARE playing co-operatively and don’t abuse the rules?
I agree. D&D simplified to an extent but in a way that allowed complexity – there’s no such room in 40k these days that I can see. As people said on that thread, you lose the crazy events that made the game worth playing – Dreadnoughts blowing up and taking their fellow troops with them … Wraithguard sucking all of themselves into the vortex on a one-in-a-million chance … Tempests crashing into the earth …

i know, the best, and most rememorable bits were when the dice screwed you over. freaky one in a million kinda chances.
I actually foind remembering all the different stats for the guns reasonalby easy. And it wasnt as if 2nd Ed. even felt like it was finnished. it always felt so shoved together to me, the squats for example were like half an army and the black codex had so many mistakes it was shocking. Thats my gripe.
