@piers We saw bolt action taking a chuck out of 40K at the time – but again the timing of its release played a big part in that as the landscape was just right at the time for a competitor. And I think its appeal was the commando style (so people didn’t feel they had to come at it with any more than a love of old war movies) and the gritty nature of the conflict. Because during the same period we saw no sci-fi game make the same gains (bar perhaps infinity but its growth started much earlier).
