== "Comments and Criticism" on reference to RPG.net == 

 The review from RPG.net on the 3rd Edition of 40k does not contain such a critisism of the scale assumed (RPG.net Review Circa 1999) 

 Other notes appear more likely from an 'Elitist' attitude from old time gamers and roleplayers, and while I share many of the same sentiments, especially concerning the over inflated prices, being able to finish a game in a few hours after work (with the so-called 'dumbed down' rules) remains the best parts of a simple game system, rather than gargantuan battles that could last a weekend (those are still possible for the hardcore...). For me, there is still a satisfactry level of depth, without having to memorize a million rules, like in 2nd ed, where phases would last hours in large scale battles, and arguments would be the bane of an evenings gaming.  

 I am not sufficiently experienced in the latest edition of 40k or fantasy, so I won't comment on those - for all i kno the new versions better fit the pattern for the critique displayed in this article.
