I think it has the potential to be a good fit for non saga players who want a fantasy skirmish system, but it needs help to get there. Whether that is worth the effort depends on how desperate that particular subset of gamers is. LoTR fans probably will buy GW’s boxed sets first and use house rules to make it ‘better’ if need be.

As such it’s only a ‘wrong’ direction because that (probably) isn’t the intent of the system, so they don’t need to market it to disgruntled fans of other fantasy skirmish games. I think there may be a potential audience they might be missing as a result.

It definitely is a better fit for Saga players who want a bit of fantasy in their games without having to learn a new system. I suspect more than a few Saga players have already attempted to do this sort of thing already.
